why don't i get the same result on my console?

on my console... it looks like this: (so I get a list, but not the items on the list.)

document.querySelectorAll('li') NodeList(7) [li, li.error-not-purple, li, li, li.error-not-purple, li.error-not-purple, li] 0: li 1: li.error-not-purple 2: li 3: li 4: li.error-not-purple 5: li.error-not-purple 6: li length: 7 proto: NodeList

document.querySelectorAll('.error-not-purple') NodeList(3) [li.error-not-purple, li.error-not-purple, li.error-not-purple] 0: li.error-not-purple 1: li.error-not-purple 2: li.error-not-purple length: 3 proto: NodeList

just wondering why my console output id different from Guil's?

here is my js: const myList = document.getElementsByTagName("li");

for (let i = 0; i < myList.length; i += 1){ myList[i].style.color = 'purple'; }

const errorNotPurple = document.getElementsByClassName("error-not-purple");

for (let i = 0; i < errorNotPurple.length; i += 1){ errorNotPurple[i].style.color = 'red'; }
