49 Pointsusing the addEventListener('mouseover')
please what is wrong with my codes? i tried the similar thing from the turials but i doesn't work like expected and whenever i check the console too, they say no issues
const listItems=document.getElementsByTagName('li');
for(i=0,i<listItems.length;i++;){
listItems.addEventListener('mouseover', ()=>{
listItems[i].textContent=listItems[i].textContent.toUpperCase();
})
}

You should use event delegation by attaching the event listener to the ul/ol element and then use event.target to get the correct child list item.
