My code cannot show the list

Hello, I tried to rework the example in the video but the thing is that I cannot let the list to be shown again and I only can hide the list. Could anyone please help me with the bug inside the code? Thank you!

Please show your whole code.

Code

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

a. Here is the code from app.js: const p = document.querySelector('p'); const input = document.querySelector('input'); const button = document.querySelector('button'); const list = document.querySelector('.list'); var hide_button = document.querySelector('#hide');

button.addEventListener('click', ()=>{ p.innerHTML = input.value; });

hide_button.addEventListener('click', ()=>{ if(list.style.display !== 'none'){ list.textContent = 'show list'; list.style.display ==='block'; } else{ list.textContent = 'hide list'; list.style.display === 'none'; }

                         });

b. Here is the code from index.html: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>JavaScript and the DOM</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> </head> <body> <h1 id="myHeading">JavaScript and the DOM</h1>

<button id="hide">Hide list</button>
<div class="list">
<p>Things that are purple:</p>
<input type="text" class="blanks">
<button class="button">Change list description</button>
<ul>
  <li>grapes</li>
  <li>amethyst</li>
  <li>lavender</li>
  <li>plums</li>
</ul>
</div>
<script src="app.js"></script>

</body> </html>

First you forgot inside from the code content the first <p></p> element after the <h1 id="myHeading"></h1>. Second the first button id="toggleList" and the second button id="description". 

<p>Making a web page interactive</p>

Please look again the video. The app.js file is bit too different.
