someone please help figure out why this is wrong i've tried multiple ways but can't seem to find the righr answer here

Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

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

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

You're just about there. You just want to add the .toUpperCase() method to id, and you're assigning the value to userName. Right now you're adding do it, but it's not defined yet.

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith#";

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