I put input.value = ' '; at the very end of the function and it worked just fine. Is this acceptable?

I put input.value = ' '; at the end of my function instead of after "const text = input.value;" and it worked just fine. Is this acceptable or is there a reason why they put it after the const?

These statements do different things:

const text = input.value;  // this creates variable "text" and stores the input box value in it
input.value = ' ';         // this clears out the value from the input box
