Perform: Changing Classes video has an error in code yet for Andrew still worked

Just a quick statement...

In the video the following variable is shown incorrectly without a closing bracket. Yet, the code still works for him...

var editInput = listItem.querySelector("input[type=text");

correctly it should be

var editInput = listItem.querySelector("input[type=text]");

I copied what he wrote out of curiosity and it worked for me before and after I fixed the code. I assumed it was shorthand we hadn't learned yet
