Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 11,626 PointsListening for Events with addEventListener()
What if I use for loop within each event handler just like-
listItems.addEventListener('mouseover', () => {
for(let i = 0 ; i< listItems.length ; i+=1){
listItems[i].textContent = listItems[i].textContent.toUpperCase();
}
listItems.addEventListener('mouseout', () => {
for(let i = 0 ; i< listItems.length ; i+=1){
listItems[i].textContent = listItems[i].textContent.toLowerCase();
}
Is it correct?If not why?

220,450 PointsThis code doesn't show how "listItems" is established, but since it is being indexed and used in a loop, I assume that it represents an HTMLcollection. But a collection would not have a "addEventListener" method, only the individual elements would have that.
Also, it looks like the closing brace and parenthesis are missing from each function.

I didn't know that . It clears all my doubt. Thanks Steven
