How do I use the "#" function properly

I'm not sure how to accomplish what it is asking me to do regarding the "#" symbol.

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>

Hi Conner. They're asking you to add a # symbol and the lastName in uppercase, to the userName string that you already have in uppercase.

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