did not the get the part why you have to capitalise tags in the if statement?
plz explain?
listHide.addEventListener('mouseover', (event) => {
if (event.target.tagName == 'LI') {
event.target.textContent = event.target.textContent.toUpperCase();
}
});
listHide.addEventListener('mouseout', () => {
if (event.target.tagName == 'LI') {
event.target.textContent = event.target.textContent.toLowerCase();
}
});

If (blah.blah.toUpperCase() == 'BLAHBLAH') { Then do something }
(The blahs are just space fillers/ example/ not words you need to use)
It makes the user input all upper case letters, and then checks to see if that is equal to the upper case answer that you defined. This way you don't need to worry about users writing the answer using inconsistent capitalization of numbers.
