I'm sure you can get some help, but first please show the code you submitted for task 2 so we can see what the issue is.

Hi Steven,

Q : Finally, add a # symbol and lastName in uppercase to the end of the userName string. The final value of userName is "23188XTR#SMITH".

I have written this code for task 2;

var id = "23188xtr"; var lastName = "Smith";

var userName = id + "#" + lastName;

alert(userName.toUpperCase());

You're pretty close.

Now that I see your code I can make some suggestions:

  • remember in task 1 you made "an all uppercase version of the id variable"? You still need that part.
  • then when you add the symbol and lastName, the lastName must also be in uppercase.

So really all you are missing is to convert each name to uppercase. And the alert is not needed for the challenge.

Not "missing", but you have something "extra". You have a stray semicolon near the middle of the line right before the first "+" symbol.
