Hi Justin

The challenge is asking you to convert the vanilla JavaScript into JQuery.

remember JQuery is just a javascript library so it lives within a normal javascript file extension.

The difference is JQuery has these helpful functions that do all this long JavaScript code for us.

The hide() function replaces the style.display = 'none';

// This line of code
document.querySelector('.profile-header').style.display = 'none';

//Is identical to this line of code
$('.profile-header').hide();

JQuery has many helpful functions just like this one, check out the documentation for more

Good Luck
