Hi Obe,

You're pretty close. Try dropping the pound variable and keep all of your code on the userName variable line. Then add the pound sign as a string and the lastName variable. You can add the lastName variable the same way you added the id variable in Step 1.

Cheers!

Hello man, i think I'm too late, but there is an answer of your question

var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
