Hi Aqqi

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase(); //This makes var id uppercase.
userName += '#' + lastName.toUpperCase(); // we then add the '#' and lastName in uppercase

First, you use the toUpperCase() method on the id and the lastName (you could do it on stage 2) variable. Then, you concatenate the id with a pound or hash symbol - # and lastName.

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

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