Hey everyone!! please I need help with this challenge. Im stuck and I can't figure out how to solve it.

Please someone who can give me a clue.

js/app.js 
//Show Prompt Window and store value
var fullName = prompt("What is your full name?");

//Select Input with the id of #fullName
var input.("#fullName");

//Insert value in to full name input
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<label for="fullName">Full Name</label><input id="fullName" name="fullName" value="" disabled>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

This line is incorrect - go back and look at the jQuery selection syntax, hint: var input = $("#fullName"), and the val() method for setting text input values.

var input.("#fullName");

Thanks Bryan, I did it this way. $(#fullName").val(fullName); And it works
