Problem with my variable declaration? Help, please.

The quiz asks me to use the '.text()' or '.html()' method to complete the challenge. I'm pretty sure I wrote the code correctly, but maybe there's a syntax error? Thanks for the help!

Hi Scott

Ensure you use the correct one between text() and html() functions

Also, something that always catches me out, remember the dot before the class name in your selection like below:

$(".profile-text").text("I am a web developer");

Good Luck!
