I am having trouble adding two variables in uppercase letters together. Can anyone help?

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 am supposed to do, but I cannot seem to get the code right.

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + lastName.toUpperCase(); 
I am having trouble adding two variables in uppercase letters together.  Can anyone help

It does put Your two variables id and lastName together

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + lastName.toUpperCase(); 
//I am having trouble adding two variables in uppercase letters together.  Can anyone help
console.log(userName);

console.log(userName); prints this out 

23188XTRSMITH

Sorry, I should have specified. The goal is to have "23188XTR#SMITH" this print out.

If you need a print out "23188XTR#SMITH" then to this:

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

Or if you need "23188XTR SMITH" then just replace # with a space
