Next, set the text content of the <p> element with the class info to the value stored in inputValue.

This challenge doesn't give clear directions or any hints. Could I have an answer for reference please?

app.js 
let inputValue = document.querySelector('input');

inputValue = inputValue.value;

let word = document.querySelector('p');

inputValue = Value.className;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
      <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
      <div id="content">
        <label for="linkText">Link Text:</label>
        <input type="text" id="linkText" value="sample text">
        <p class="info"></p>
      </div>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

In the challenge instructions, the words "text content" link to a page about the text content property of a Node, which includes syntax examples.

let word = document.querySelector('p');
word.textContent = inputValue;
