Task: Next, declare a new variable named input. Point the variable to the input element with the ID input-phrase. Use the method that returns an element matching the specified ID.
I was not able to pass this task and don't know what's wrong with my code.
// Complete the challenge by writing JavaScript below
const button = document.getElementById ('btn-phrase');
const input = document.getElementById ('input-phrase');
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
alert(input.value);
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Phrase Sayer</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><label for="input-phrase">Type a phrase</label></p>
<p><input type="text" id="input-phrase"></p>
<p><button id="btn-phrase">Say Phrase</button></p>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

const input = document.getElementById('input-phrase');
