For Loop ---- ReferenceError: i is not defined

Can someone see what I am doing wrong in this for loop? I'm getting an error "ReferenceError: i is not defined"

************HERE IS THE QUESTION******************** Challenge Task 2 of 2 Next, change the color of each child paragraph to blue.

(Remember: paragraphs is a collection of elements, so you'll first need to use a loop to access each element in the collection.)

**********HERE IS THE JS**********************

var section = document.querySelector('section'); var paragraphs = section.children;

for (i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i += 1) { paragraphs[i].style.color = 'blue'; };

***********HERE IS THE 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>© 2019</p> </footer> <script src="app.js"></script> </body> </html>

Just have to declare the i.

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