Use the JavaScript .toUpperCase( ) string method to assign an all uppercase version ofthe id variable tothe userName var

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var userName = id;

var userName = prompt("23188xtr");
userName.toUpperCase();

// the value of shout is "JAVASCRIPT"
var shout = word.toUpperCase();


var lastName = "Smith";
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>

You might be overthinking this one a little. The prompt wants you to make the value stored in the id variable uppercase with the .toUpperCase string method, and then store that new value in the username variable, which you can do in the same step:

username = id.toUpperCase();
