JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Storing and Tracking Information with Variables Using String Methods

I am really struggling with the second part of this code challenge. I can not figure out how to combine the strings.

Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable.

userName= prompt{id.toUpperCase()); userName= userName + "lastName"; NO userName= 'id' + 'last Name'; NO userName= prompt(id.toUpperCase() + prompt(lastName.toUpperCase()); NO userName= 'id' +#"lastName"; NO

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

var userName= prompt(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>

</html>

Try this.

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

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