What's Wrong With This Code?

Wow, no idea how to solve this one.

It says task one is now wrong? Anyone in the Treehouse Community have an answer?

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
userName = id.toUpperCase();
var userName += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Hi Zander,

The only thing wrong with your code is you have the var keyword in the wrong place. You use this keyword when you first create the variable. So, it needs to go before the first userName usage.

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
