I have literally no idea how to do this

For some reason really struggling with what its asking me to do in this question... Might just be being really dumb. if someone could help me out that would be great.

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

//Select Input with the id of #fullName

 $fullName.val($anchor.attr("href"));

//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>
<script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>

It seems that it's asking you to ask the user, via a prompt, for their first name. Store that value in a variable. Apply that variable's value to the form Input control.

The comments on this code challenge are somewhat confusing. You definitely don't need more than one line as shown below. Basically all you have to do is set the value of the input with the id fullName to the prompt which is also named fullName.

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

//Select Input with the id of #fullName
//Insert value in to full name input
$("#fullName").val(fullName);
