1,345 PointsI'm working on the Full-Stack JavaScript Track, and I'm stuck, and for the life of me can't figure out the solution.
This is the question that I'm stuck on:
Complete the assignment to the userName variable by adding a # symbol followed by an all uppercase version of the lastName variable. In other words, using string concatenation so that the final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".
Can someone help me out with the coding for it? I'm not sure which coding syntax to use to solve it. I keep wracking my brain, but can't come up with the answer.

I'm assuming you got to stage 2 of the challenge, so you know to use the .toUpperCase() method on id. After that, you'll just want to use the concatenation operator (+), to combine the userName string with "#" and with lastName, also converted to uppercase. It could be written as:
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var lastName = lastName.toUpperCase();
userName = userName + "#" + lastName;
or more succinctly:
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName +="#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
Also, for faster and more relevant help in future, it makes it a lot easier for the community to offer advice if you ask the question using the "Help" button on the code challenge, so we can gather context of what video/challenge/quiz you are stuck on.
