what exactly are you stuck on?

You're on part two of the challenge, so the first part of your code should look like this:

$('button').click(function() {
  var newName = $('#name-input').val();
});

for part two you need to select 

$('button').click(function() {
  var newName = $('#name-input').val();
  //your next line of code should go here
  // it will look something like this $(the class you have to select).text(the text that will occupy the element);
});

hope that helps!
