How is the syntax suppose to look?
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase ()
var userName =+ lastName.toUpperCase()

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName= id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
// userName === "23188XTR#SMITH"

7,856 PointsWhat do you want to do exactly? What do you mean by the "#"?
I found this mistake in your code
var userName =+ lastName.toUpperCase()
this hast to be
var userName += lastName.toUpperCas()

I think you're referring to the hash (#) symbol that prefixes ID selectors in CSS or selecting ID elements in jQuery but this is not needed here.
Follow the guidance from Pascal although his suggestion needs the e in .toUpperCase()
But you don't need to worry about a # in this challenge. :-)
