Use the document.write() function to print the contents of the player variable to the page.

how do i do this?

app.js 
var player="Jasmine";
document.write("Jasmine");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>

When you are creating a variable (var player), you assign it a value, you can then use this value later in your code with just calling the name of the variable (player). No need to write the string "Jasmine" all over again – You see? (:
