JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Storing and Tracking Information with Variables Using String Methods

I'm not sure but I think this could be a bug. I am getting a "PASSING" result for Task 1 but not Task 2.

After completing Task ! with a PASS, i am getting a message stating that Task ! is no longer correct after completing Task 2. Not exactly sure where I'm making the error. I checked console and make code is now returning with the value in all caps.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

app.js 
var id = "23188xtr" + "#";

var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id + lastName;
userName.toUpperCase();

console.log(userName)
index.html

I don't think the challenge is expecting you to change the code that was provided. Try solving the challenge with only new code.

Can you share the code you used for task 1? It looks like you've modified the id variable (which could be why it says task 1 no longer passes), but all the new code for both steps can be done on the userName variable.
