How can I get the document.write function display the content of the var?

  1. var player = "Jasmine"; is my string and the module is asking me to create another string using the function document.write to display the variables content.

my answer was: 2 document.write("player")

but this answer was wrong, can someone assist me?

app.js 
var player = "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>

You dont need the "" that is for a string you want to get the variable not a new string. :)

document.write(player);
