Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,200 PointsI do not understand this question.
Why is it the wrong answer?
Julien Arseneau
Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 5,200 PointsHere is the question : ''How would you use querySelectorAll to obtain a reference to all elements in a document with the class student-info and assign it to the constant studentInfo?''.
I tried several answers, but nothing worked.

231,271 PointsWhen creating a selector for a class, the class name should be preceded by a period ("."). So the correct answer would be:
document.querySelectorAll('.student-info')
A semicolon at the end is optional, the answer will be correct either way.
But do not put a space between the method name and the parentheses, while this would be allowed in actual practice, the quiz validator does not accept it. (If this was causing you trouble, you might want to report it as a bug to the Support folks).

const studentInfo = document.querySelectorAll ('student-info')
I can see 2 problems here:
- you have missed the semicolon from the end
- you have missed the dot from before the class name
Please note that if you are using querySelector, you can select based on tags, ids, classes, so you have to distinguish in the syntax. If you would use a function which is only capable of using class names, you could use the class name without the dot, because the compiler would know for sure that it has too look for a classname, not a tag name or id. An example to this would be getElementsByClassName('student-info')
Now you have to do something like this:
const studentInfo = document.querySelectorAll('.student-info');
