Hmm..the video does not match the 8 questions I have. Oh well, it was still fun, and great practice.

// 4: Set the class of the <ul> to 'list'
let ulElement;
let challenge4 = () => {
    ulElement = document.querySelector('ul');
    ulElement.className = 'list';
}
challenge4();
// 5: Create a new list item and add it to the <ul>
let challenge5 = () => {
    let listItem = document.createElement('li');
    let inputElement = document.createElement('input');
    ulElement.appendChild(listItem); // ulElement created in question 4.
    listItem.appendChild(inputElement);
}
challenge5();
// 6: Change all <input> elements from text fields to checkboxes
let liCount = document.querySelectorAll('ul li'); // Global variable
let challenge6 = () => {
    for(let i = 0; i < liCount.length; i++) {
        let inputSelect = document.querySelectorAll('ul li input')[i];
        inputSelect.setAttribute('type', 'checkbox');
    }    
}
challenge6();

On question 5 I was having an issue with the check box and the text. I ended up omitting the text since it wasn't called for in the question. The issue I was having was that the checkbox always appeared after the text instead of before. What I wanted was...

<ul>
  <li input type='checkbox'>
  'new text'
  </li>
</ul>

but instead I would get...

<ul>
  'new text'
  <li input type='checkbox'>
  </li>
</ul>

I tried rearranging some of the lines, but it would only break the code. This is not a big deal since this is only practice, but if anyone can understand what ive typed and have any tips ill take them. Thanks!
