Not sure what should be done here.

I am not sure what this task ask me to do. Here is my code:

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

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

What the question is asking you is to put the value of the prompt into the id fullName, let break it down

first what you want to do is use the jquery selector of the id fullName like so:

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

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

then what you need is to take the value of the input and put it into the id fullName like so:

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

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

this will take the value of the variable (input from prompt) and place that value into the id of fullName.

I hope this helps.
