I tried following along on this and writing the code like it was shown however when I did it, the button will not work

const input=document.querySelector('input');
const p=document.querySelector('p.description');
const button=document.querySelector('button');
button.addEventListener('click',() => {
    p.textContent=input.value;
});

this is a snippet of the code and I was trying to change the description of the list

Check your html file. Make sure the p tag that has the list description has the description class

<p class="description">Change list description</p>

I checked the html and checked the class and it is correct
