JavaScript Basics. I'm not sure what how to solve this.

If someone could run me through this and show me the code needed that would be great. I'm struggling to wrap my head around this and i know its pretty basic...

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
userName = id
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

var userName = id.toUpperCase(); //now your userName var = "23188XTR" but the id =  "23188xtr";
userName = id // userName = "23188xtr"

Try this:

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

it did not work. This was the response I got:

Bummer! The userName variable is "23188XTR" not "23188XTR#SMITH".

I copied your response as-is, I dont see what is wrong with your code either...
