How would you select the body element using document.getElementsByTagName, and store it in the variable body?
(Hint: Don't forget that this method returns a collection, not a single element.)
const body = _____________________

Since there is only one body tag in the HTML, it is similar to a single array value, and you can grab the element by using square brackets like you do to array. So you could access the body element by using this code :
const body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
