8,524 PointsI got the same answer as above:
var section = document.querySelector('section'); var paragraphs = section.children;
for (let i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i = 1) { paragraphs.style.color = 'blue'; }
I added the [i] after 'blue'...
var section = document.querySelector('section'); var paragraphs = section.children;
for (let i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i += 1) { paragraphs.style.color = "blue"[i]; }
This is incorrect, I feel maybe I'm missing adding a function first?
Please help, thanks!
