What am I doing wrong here?

I am having trouble getting past this question. The code is attached that I am trying but apparently it is incorrect. All resources that I have looked up online all point that this should in fact be correct. I must be missing something but I'm unsure of what it is. Can anyone help out with this?

Thanks.

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

You have to add .value at the end.
