working with strings and finding help

use the javascript .toUpperCase () string method to assign an all uppercase version of the id variable to the username variable

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

var userName=id.toUpperCase());
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

You have an extra ) in your variable. Delete that and it should work.

Hi Rachael,

You're pretty much spot on. You just have an extra closing parenthesis in the line of code. Just delete that one and the rest looks great.
Just a note, it is more common practice to have a space after the variable name and also after the equal sign. While this won't affect code, it is more common and a bit cleaner. So 

var name="Jason"

is better as 

var name = "Jason"

Otherwise, nice work! :) :dizzy:
