let inputValue = document.getElementById('linkName');
inputValue = inputValue.value;
inputValue = document.querySelector('a');
inputValue = inputValue.value;

<!DOCTYPE html>

Hey Renato,

It wants you to set the text content of the anchor to be the value of the input. To complete this challenge, you have to select the anchor with the ID of 'link', and then make that text content equal the inputValue. Below I will demonstrate. 

let inputValue = document.getElementById('linkName').value;
let anchor = document.getElementById('link');

anchor.textContent = inputValue;

I hope this helps!
