And here is what you want:

submit.addEventListener('click', () => {

    const {value} = yourName

    const firstChar = value.slice(0, 1)
    const lastChar = value.slice(-1)

    div.classList.add('hide')
    welcome.textContent = firstChar + lastChar
})

Wow, that worked.

I don't even understand the code (*LOL I haven't learnt the 'const / {} => yet *) but yeah it worked.

Thank you very much
