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 the question that it asked me and i don't know what to do so some help would be great thank you!
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase("#" + lastName);

- You have not converted the lastName to uppercase.
- You are adding "#" and uppercase as arguments toUpperCase() and this is wrong.
To get the desired answer which is "23188XTR#SMITH", your code will have to look like something like this.
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

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