For this challenge question I was commanded to do the following:
Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".
This is what I came up with as I was not sure how to write what was asked in the form that was required.
var id = "#23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id + lastName.toUpperCase();
var id = "#23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id + lastName.toUpperCase();```
My answer was incorrect. This is the message that I received;
Bummer: The `userName` variable is "#23188xtrSMITH" not "23188XTR#SMITH".
How do I return the correct variable? I am lost.
```app.js
var id = "#23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id + lastName.toUpperCase();

967 PointsI too, am having the same problem. The issue is, the question is worded that the solution will be "23188XTR#SMITH." Everything is uppercase. However, after inserting the code, the error message comes up saying that it's supposed to be "23188xtr#SMITH." So now, "xtr" isn't supposed to be uppercase. There isn't consistency here with the question.

Using String Methods Challenge Task #2
What I have entered in:
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();```
Bummer: The `userName` variable is "function () { spyList.push(method); object[method]._isCalled = object[method]._isCalled + 1 || 1; object[method]._args = object[method]._args || []; object[method]._args.push(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)); if(typeof proxy === 'function') { return proxy.apply(this, arguments); } else { throw "`" + method + "` is not a method. Did you mean `" + correctMethod + "`?"; } }#SMITH" not "23188XTR#SMITH".
Thanks for any assistance in advance.
