The program does not work with 'for loop'.

The program works without the for loop ( first list element), but as soon as I put listeners in for loop hovering doesn't work anymore and I don't get any errors.

for (let i=0; i<listItems.length; i+=1){ listItems[i].addEventListener("mouseover", () => { listItems[i].textContent =listItems[i].innerHTML.toUpperCase(); });

listItems.addEventListener('mouseout', () => { listItems[i].textContent=listItems[i].textContent.toLowerCase(); });

}

I formatted your code. When you're adding your second eventListener, you omitted the [i], which is why it doesn't work.

for (let i=0; i<listItems.length; i+=1) { 
    listItems[i].addEventListener("mouseover", () => { 
    listItems[i].textContent =listItems[i].innerHTML.toUpperCase(); 
    });

    // Missing [i] here.
    listItems.addEventListener('mouseout', () => { 
    listItems[i].textContent=listItems[i].textContent.toLowerCase(); 
    });
}
