Hi Abdulrahman! The second task wants you to add more to the username variable. Firstly it wants you to add a hash symbol and then add the surname (lastName variable) to the string in uppercase. You are concatenating the string. I have put the code below to help you but, let me know if you have any questions :)

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

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

Alexandra, great answer! Just to expand on Andrew's suggestion: if you add the language after your backtics, you'll get syntax highlighting. I took the liberty of doing so for you. You can edit your answer to see it. Looks like this, though:

```js

[code]

```

You can do this with HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, SQL... pretty much all the languages taught here on treehouse.

Thanks for participating, and happy coding!

Cheers :beers:
