Stuck for the first time so far! Any help?

I've rewatched course video but am confused what needs to be done with the username var.

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
id.toUpperCase();
var userName
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( );

You need to give it a value: an all caps id. You need to store the all caps in the userName variable.
