Hello, the task is:
- Store the value of the text input element in the variable inputValue. (If you need a refresher on getting the value of a text input, this video from the previous section demonstrates how.)
let inputValue = document.querySelector('input').value;
- Set the text content of the a tag to be the value stored in the variable inputValue.
inputValue = document.querySelector('a').textContent;
The first task is ok, the second one gives me an error that the first task is no longer passing, and i dont know why, im pretty sure that I did correctly. Thank you
P.S. There are only 1 input tag and 1 a tag in the HTML, sorry I didn't add it

they expression needs to be revered. the way you wrote it assigns the textContent of 'a' to inputValue.
watch how you order things. left of the '=' is always the variable you are modifying.
