JavaScript JavaScript and the DOM (Retiring) Traversing the DOM Getting All Children of a Node with children

Having trouble understanding this DOM JS code.

const listDiv = document.querySelector('.list'); // this should get an HTML element with the class .list and store it into listDiv.

const listUl = listDiv.querySelector('ul'); // does this get the ul that is inside the listDiv(aka class .list) and store it into listUI constant?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it does.

const listUl = listDiv.querySelector('ul'); 

This will store the first unordered list(within the 'div' with a class of 'list') in the 'listUI' constant.

Hi Rosario, posting the HTML markup code alongside your question would really help.
