// Creating a new button that accepts text to name the text and class name
function newButton(li, txt) {
let button = document.createElement('button');
button.className = txt;
button.textContent = txt;
li.appendChild(button);
}
// declaring the newButton function & using an array of button names.
// Would make it much easier to create new or remove existing buttons
function attachListItemButtons(li, name) {
name = ['up', 'down', 'remove'];
for(i = 0; i < name.length; i += 1) {
newButton(li, name[i]);
}
}
for(let i = 0; i < lis.length; i += 1) {
attachListItemButtons(lis[i]);
}

function attachListItemButtons(li) {
const name = ['up', 'down', 'remove'];

4,021 PointsGood spot! :) You're right, that second argument was left over from before I was pulling the button names from an array.
