I think something is wrong with this challenge !!!!!

"You've just learned how to use the jQuery methods text() and html(). Use the appropriate jQuery method to set the contents of the $('.profile-text') element to "I am a web developer"."

i think my code is right !

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
const content = "I am a web developer";
$('.profile-text').text(content);

Yep, your code is good. But, don't save the text in new const, put the text inside the text(). The third challenge write your code in new line! Let be a text() and an html() line. Hope this help.

This worked:

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

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