Raedawn Long Hello Hope you are doing well That is your code 

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

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

You are almost there, but just remember that the equal_operator is use for assignment ( = ) so it should not be on quote marks and also the (+) symbol is us for concatenation so When is used on strings, the + operator is called the concatenation operator or to combine strings, so is not only an operator for addition.

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