Currently, the event listener applies a yellow background color to the section element and its child elements when clicked. Add a condition that changes the background of the <input> elements only.
no clue :(
let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];
let input = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
if (event.target.tagName == input) {
e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';
}});

Literal strings need to be enclosed in quotes, and tag name are always stored in upper case.
