bummer wrong

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

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

bummer: you did not put the # between id and last name

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

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

Hey ! Your task is to get the following result in your userName variable : "23188XTR#SMITH" so you also have to use the toUpperCase method on the lastName variable like this : 

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