Can anyone see any obvious problems in my code? The console is telling me "unexpected end of input" citing the last line of code.
ul.addEventListener("click", (e)=>{ if(e.target.tagName ==='BUTTON'){ const li = e.target.parentNode; const ul= li.parentNode; ul.removeChild(li);} });

Actually, the error isn't referring to user input, but rather the Javascript code being run by the interpreter. Please see my response below for a more detailed explanation. :)

Treehouse Moderator 145,858 PointsHi Ryan Wikle
"Unexpected end of input" means that there is a missing closing brace or bracket. What is happening is the Javascript engine has not come across a closing element telling it to stop the program, so it wants to keep going but has no more code to run ("end of input"), so it throws the error.
Without seeing all the code, it impossible to guess where, but usually the mistake is made when closing out a nested loop or method and forgetting or accidentally deleting the originating closing element.
You'll need to go through your code and make sure that each opening brace or bracket has a corresponding closing one. If your are using Treehouse workspaces, when you place the cursor after a brace or bracket, the editor will highlight the matching one.
Personally, if I encounter this error, I count my opening braces and/or brackets and then count the closing ones. Whichever one doesn't match up in count is the one I need to find where I missed.
Hope that helps. :)

unexpected end of inputbut the code you shared doesn't reference an input so, it's hard to tell what's causing this problem. Can you share all of your code?
