Looks like you forgot to bring the lastName variable toUpperCase as well. The final result they require has the lastName in upper case like so - "23188XTR#SMITH"

Hi Raheem! You are missing toUpperCase() method on lastName variable. I made the same mistake here before. This should work:

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