JavaScript JavaScript and the DOM (Retiring) Making Changes to the DOM Modifying Elements

The question is asking me to store the input.text value in the inputValue constant. What am I missing?

I have done what I believe is correct in regards to the lesson. In the lesson we said:

const h1 = document.querySelector('input #myHeading');

I feel like I'm doing the same thing.

app.js 
let inputValue = document.querySelector('input #linkName');
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>

Select element with the special id, and after you can use the .value property.
