Hi Devon,

As you can see in the HTML file, app.js will already be executed there. So, for this challenge, you only have to create a variable named 'player' with the value of 'Jasmine' and, subsequently, use document.write(); to print the value of 'player'.

The following code will print the value of 'player' to the page:

document.write(player);

So, your JS file should look like this:

var player = "Jasmine"; 

document.write(player);

I hope this helps. :)
