Based on the challenge:

What you have seems to be correct for the first task (setting username to uppercase version of id variable).

The second task is asking you to append a # to the end of the username variable. So far, userName += "#"; should be correct.

After this, the second task asks you to append the uppercase version of lastname to username. You are missing this. Add this feature and you should complete the challenge.
