really don't know what is the goal of this challenge, did a lot of guesses but can`t find the answer.

Can someone tell me the purpose of this challenge? cant concatanate the sentences correctly without changing "Task 1"

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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();
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>

The second step requires you to use string concatenation such that the userName variable equals to "23188XTR#SMITH".

After Step 1, the value of the userName variable is "23188XTR. So you must simply concat the hash symbol (#) with the uppercase version of the lastName variable, and store the result back in the userName variable.

That should be all for this challenge.
