Treehouse Project ReviewerHi there itay zelig ! 👋
The Challenge is asking to store the value of the selected input element to the variable so there's an extra step involved than just selecting the element.
You can achieve it in one line by adding value
to the end of the querySelector
with dot notation. 👍
const inputValue = document.querySelector('input').value
