I couldn't pass this challenge. What am I doing wrong?

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

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

Hi Kidus, you are close, but what you want to do is concat the # symbol and lastName var to the end of the userName variable like this :

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

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

In your case you are creating a new variable with the name username and assigning the values to it.
