Hi, I'm getting this error message. "Bummer! The `userName` variable is "23188XTR" not "23188XTR#SMITH". "

What is the solution?

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var lastName = lastName.toUpperCase();
var userName = id.toUpperCase(); + "#" + lastName;
index.html

Hi Bella, there's just a little syntax error in your code. You put a semi-colon in between your concatenation.

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

Delete it and you're good to go :)
