Using String Methods Challenge

Hello I am stuck on the second task of the Using String Methods Challenge. I am on the part where you have to add # and uppercase Last Name to the end of username. Any assistance is appreciated.

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith" += '#';

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + lastName.toUpperCase();
index.html

Hi Jordan.

See the hint you get:

// Bummer: There was an error with your code: ReferenceError: Left side of assignment is not a reference.

var id = "23188xtr";
id += '#';
var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id.toUpperCase() + lastName.toUpperCase();

And you have to add the '#' after the id.

Best & happy coding ;)
