How do I set the text content of the <p> element with the class info to the value stored in inputValue?

I am having difficulty figuring this one out. My answer - inputValue = document.querySelector('p').info.textContent;

app.js 
let inputValue = document.querySelector('input').value;
inputValue = document.querySelector('p').info.textContent;
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're close, but you need to swap the sides of the assignment and put the thing being assigned on the left side and the value it is getting on the right.

Also, there's no ".info" attribute, just apply the .textContent directly to the element.
