Courses Plus Student 5,154 PointsStuck, have researched concepts but don't understand.
Instructions are: add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".
I'm struggling to understand the concepts here
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var userName = id + lastName.toUpperCase();

var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase(); //at this moment, userName variable gives 23188XTR, id is holding 23188xtr
var userName = id + lastName.toUpperCase(); // now you are overwriting the userName variable from 23188XTR to 23188xtr, and concatenating the lastName which is Smith, which would result in -> 23188xtrSMITH
