What is this question asking me exactly? To override the already existing InputValue variable?

I'm not sure where to add the .textContent

app.js 
var inputValue = document.getElementById("linkName").value;
inputValue = document.getElementById("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>

You are to set the textContent of the link element = inputValue. Your code for task 2 is currently reversed.
