I removed my loop text to find out why this error is popping.
I am supposed to create a loop to turn the paragraph elements in <section> "blue".
I'm not understanding why the basic loop structure itself is causing the system to pop a syntax error.
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;
for () {
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Child Traversal</title>
</head>
<body>
<section>
<p>This is the first paragraph</p>
<p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
<p>Shorter, last paragraph</p>
</section>
<footer>
<p>© 2016</p>
</footer>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

20,885 Pointsthis will anyway throw an error, cause, this is not an engine parser, to validate your code, but, it is programmed in a way to understand the answer to the question, if I am not mistaken. if you want to do thorough checking on parsing and syntax checking, you can use jsfiddle
but for quizzes, you cannot rely, on the actions you have taken here. it needs to be point to point, question to answer, and answer to question.
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;
for () {
}
