4,919 PointsJavaScript and the DOM quiz: why is my answer incorrect?
The question asks: How would you use querySelectorAll to obtain a reference to all elements in a document with the class student-info and assign it to the constant studentInfo?
I have tried entering both of these as answers, and they are both showing incorrect:
const studentInfo = document.querySelectorAll(‘.student-info’);
const studentInfo = document.querySelectorAll(“.student-info”);
What am i doing wrong?

The difference might be a bit more obvious with the syntax coloring in the code block below:
document.querySelectorAll(“.student-info”); // "curly" quotes
document.querySelectorAll(".student-info"); // plain quotes

4,919 PointsGood catch! I was doing the quiz on my iPad, and the thought of different style quotes hadn't even occurred to me. I did the quiz on my PC, with plain quotes, and it accepted the answer. Thanks!
