Not sure how to solve 2nd objective, using string methods, in the JavaScript basic.

I'm not sure where to add the # symbol in order to proceed with this task. Any help. Thanks

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var userName
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The "#" symbol will go between the uppercase version of the "id" and the uppercase version of the "lastName".

But you only need to declare a variable once (using "var"). So if you reference "userName" again after line 3 you won't need "var" before it.
