Here's a few hints:

  • a semicolon ends a statement, no matter where it is on the line
  • you can't start a new statement with a plus sign
  • only one variable is being created, so "var" will only be needed once
  • "lastname" is a variable, not a function
  • the "toUpperCase" function doesn't take any argument(s)
