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

var userName = id.toUpperCase();

This will get you through the challenge. Your code works fine its the challenge program that won't accept spaces sometimes.

It looks like you already solved task 1 and are working on task 2. I that task, you will be joining strings together using the concatenation operator, ("+"), while still converting strings to upper case.
