You didn't provide the `player` variable to the `document.write()` function.

How do you provide the player variable to the document.write() function.

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>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Change line 2 of app.js to: document.write(player);
