I don't understand how to answer this question of the JavaScript Basics code challenge. Please can someone help me to understand.
Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".
code below
var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();
var id = "23188xtr";
var lastName = "Smith";
var userName = id.toUpperCase();

This even works when you're calling methods on string variables or just using the string variables directly. You should just be able to add a hash symbol by doing +"#" and then adding the lastName variable converted to uppercase.
It may feel a bit strange at first, but if the result of an operation is a string, you can use + to add it to another string.

id.toUpperCase() + "#" + lastName.toUpperCase();
