I know that my code is wrong, but what is wrong with it?

How do I fix this problem?

script.js 
var firstname = ('Adrian');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

You don't need the parenthesis and also need to capitalize the n in name, because we use camel case for variable naming. Your code should look like this:

var firstName = 'Adrian';
