Not sure what i'm doing wrong here.

Following the previous, im not exactly sure what i'm doing wrong here.

app.js 
let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
  if(e.target.tagName == ("input") {
 e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)'};
});

You are super close!. the tagName DOM property only takes the tags in capital letters for some reason. that said if ull write "INPUT", instead of "input" that should solve the issue, and u dont need the (). this is the syntax.
