It told me to place the # and last in the string and when I did it told me to add an + and when I did it popped up error. Any solutions?
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase("#"+"lastName");

6,613 Pointssorry my bad, the order was right but you need a seperate to.UpperCase method for the lastName. +"#"+ lastName.toUpperCase();

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 7,837 PointsI put id.toUpperCase(“#”); lastName.toUpperCase(“Smith”); it showed up error, did I do something wrong?
Agnes Demes
6,613 PointsYes, just a little correction, so the toUpperCase is a method and you are trying to use it as a function . in these scenarios the brackets need to remain empty and add the # as you would add a string. var userName = id.toUpperCase() +"#"+ lastName.toUpperCase();
