I want to put a var text = "hello"
Into an input value. I am not sure how to do this, and I would like to know to this, as I am not sure.
I thought It would of just been $(input#text).text(text);
but that did not work

If you look up the documentation of jQuery for text, you'll see that text() manipulates text nodes (or text node content). If you're setting a value on a textbox you should be using the val() function.
$("input#text")
.val(text);

To assign value of a text box whose id is textbox in jQuery ,do the following :-
$("#textbox").val(text);
See val

you can use
var text = "hello"
$('#id').val(text);
//where id is the id assigned to your text box
//eg.
<input type='text' id='mytextbox' value=''/>
//it should be then
var text = "hello"
$('#mytextbox').val(text);
