You should explain or show an example on the Challenge Task 2 of 2. We didn't even get an example of how is done/works.

No examples or instructions on how to make this possible.

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">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

var userName = id.toUpperCase();

You added extra parenthesis when assigning the username variable.

Thanks, I didn't explain myself or what I was having an issue with. The video kept showing those extra parenthesis. I was able to look at someone else question and answer and figured it out. It was adding # + lastName.toUppercase. I appreciate the feedback, I see this community between students and teachers actually work. Very pleased with the fast response. Highly appreciated, Thanks again.
