couldn't change the colors

app.js file

const myList = document.getElementsByTagName("li");

for (let i =0 ; i < myList.lengthl; i +=1){ myList[i].style.color = "purple"; }

const errorNotPurple = document.querySelectorAll(".error-not-purple");

for (let i =0 ; i < errorNotPurple.lengthl; i +=1){ errorNotPurple[i].style.color = "red"; }

const evens = document.querySelectorAll('li:nth-child(even)');

for (let i =0 ; i < evens.lengthl; i +=1){ evens[i].style.backgroundColor = "lightgray"; }

Hi ghaidas,

your code seems fine, except you have an l (L letter) at the end every time you used the length property.

I think if you remove that l every time it appears and return to the normal length you should be good to go. :)

HTH!
