230,688 PointsHere's a few hints:
- the variable you want to make upper case is "id", not "str"
- you won't need to use alert for this challenge
- you do need to assign the result of the uppercase conversion to the userName variable

3,654 PointsHi mate,
it is asking you to turn the variable id to upper case and set it under the variable userName, so try this instead.
var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
