document.write function Javascript

Keep on getting this question incorrect but can't figure out where going wrong.

Use the document.write() function to print the contents of the player variable to the page. I've inputted: var player="Jasmine"; document.write("Jasmine");

Thanks in advance.

Alex

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>

Try putting the variable you created inside document.write(variable)

Don't put any quotes inside document.write & you'll be fine :D

Happy coding!

Hey, Alex,

Do it like this:

var player = "Jasmine";

document.write(player);

Happy coding.
