A Different Take On Add Item In Appending Nodes | JavaScript and the DOM

I have a bad habit of working ahead while listening to the videos and came up with the following alternative before he explained the addChild function.

addItemButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
                        ul.innerHTML += "<li>" + addItemInput.value + "</li>";
                        addItemInput.value = '';
});

I wouldn't say mine is better or worse. Just the result of playing about with what I know so far.

I don't recall that video well enough to say which method is better (though offhand yours looks fine!), but working ahead of the videos is not a bad habit! Keep doing it, it's one of the best ways to learn! ?
