As we saw in the syntax above. I created two variables which I named "nama" and "alamat". Don't forget to put a semicolon or semicolon (;) at the end of the variable line as this is a definition of javascript.

var nama = "Nurroin's Blog";
var alamat = "Probolinggo";

And then I output the contents of the variable into the nama and alamat elements

document.getElementById("nama").innerHTML = nama;
document.getElementById("alamat").innerHTML = alamat;

Note : document.getElementById() useful for specifying element by id in accordance with the function parameter. innerHTML to implement HTML syntax.
