What is this question asking me to do?

It seems like the question is asking me to select the link element and assign its value to the inputValue variable? But when I tried to do that, it just took me back to the first task. Am I misunderstanding what the objective is?

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

Task 2 wants you to assign inputValue to the textContent of the element with id "link"
