Hello.

The characters "//" are starting a comment meaning that everything on this line after is a comment. What is a comment ? It's a section of code not interpreted by the language. They are "notes" for the developper

Next point. In the course we saw that the function which write something on the page is document.write So inside your script tag you need to call this function, like this :

// Write your code here
document.write("Write what you want");

This sample of code, if put between the script tags, will display "Write what you want" on the page. The challenge task tells you which string to write on the page =) You just need to replace mine by the one in the challenge
