Use the document.write() function to print the contents of the player variable to the page.

var player= "Jasmine"

app.js 
var player= "Jasmine"
document.write("<h1>jasmine</h1>");
alert(massage);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

You don't need to make the text an H1, and you need to use the variable player.

var player = "Jasmine";
document.write(player);

I hope this helps. ~Alex

player does not need quotes. When you reference to variables, you don't use quotes.

You only use quotes with strings.
