7,301 PointsCreate new li element using jquery
I can't seem to get this question right.
"In app.js, use jQuery to create a new <li> element containing the student name "Sam Smith", and save your new element to a variable called $newStudent."
Any help would be much appreciated!

const $newStudent = $("<li>Sam Smith</li>");
$(".student-list").append($newStudent);
