Not sure how to do what it is asking... I went back but if I could see what the solution is I could reverse engineer how and why it worked. Any help? Thanks!
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
(id.toUpperCase());
var userName = "23188XTR#SMITH";

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
Step 2 is asking us to use concatenation to concat a hash and the lastName to the end of the userName.
userName += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();

The first part of the challenge asks you to assign an all uppercase version of the "id" variable to the "userName" variable.
To get that, you declare the "userName" variable to be equal to the "id" variable and call the toUpperCase method on "id"
i.e. Your code should look like this:-
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
Once that has been done, part 2 of the challenge asks you to add a "#" and lastName (again in uppercase), so you would use concatenation.
Your code should look like this:-
userName += "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
Hope that helps :-) Don
