I'm sure the answer is correct. But it keeps saying task 1 is no longer passing.

Please check my code. This should be correct. Tried it on my text editor and it works fine.

app.js 
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;

for (i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i++) {
  paragraphs[i].style.color = 'blue';
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Child Traversal</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <section>
            <p>This is the first paragraph</p>
            <p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
            <p>Shorter, last paragraph</p>
        </section>
        <footer>
            <p>&copy; 2016</p> 
        </footer>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Hey bud. Simple and common mistake. But you forgot to add the var in the for loop for i.. for(var i = 0; i <paragraphs.length; i++) { paragraphs[i].style.color = 'blue'; }

Yes you are correct. But, the error message is confusing. It should have said there was a syntax error or something like that.
