I don't understand this?

I don't know what exactly this exercise is saying?

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

//Select Input with the id of #fullName
$("#fullname").text();

//Insert value in to full name input
$("#fullname").val(fullName);
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>
<script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>

Not sure if you're getting an error when trying to run the code; however I notice in jQuery you're calling the ID #fullname, whereas in the HTML you've set the ID to fullName. It might be the text case that's throwing things out.

Hello,

Fisnik I hope I can help explain what the exercise is requesting. You will be able to complete the challenge through one line of code. I change the comment in the code a bit, try completing it this way and I hope it helps.

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

//Select Input with the id of #fullName, then Insert value in to full name input
