question does not make sense

I thought my answer was correct but it is not, and I don't know why.

app.js 
let inputValue = document.querySelector('#link').textContent;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">
            <label>Link Name:</label>
            <input type="text" id="linkName">
            <a id="link" href="https://teamtreehouse.com"></a>
        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

so the answer is something along the lines of:

let inputValue = document.getElementById('linkName').value;
document.getElementById('link').textContent = inputValue;

don't think the question was too clear.
