7,464 PointsHey, First there is a small spelling mistake in that it should be id.toUpperCase() rather than id.toUpperCase).
I believe HIDAYATULLAH is incorrect, id is still considered a string even if it has numbers in it. What you wrote should work.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token )
That's because you're not calling the method with correct syntax in your code. There should be two parentheses. Did you make a typo or was that a syntax error? If it was just a typo, console logging it will only print out the function. It will not invoke the .toUpperCase method.
