Challenge 2: Combining strings and methods

Having issues figuring out what seems to be really easy. Challenge #2 is asking me to add a # symbol along with last name towards the end of string in var userName.

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

var userName = id.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>

You can concatenate strings (stick them together) using the "+" operator.

A lot of people have trouble with this one. The challenge wants you to concatenate the strings together (adding them using the + operator). You will add the string "#" and the uppercase lastName string to userName.
