The first thing you need to do is assign your querySelectorAll()
to your constant select
variable.
Next you need to assign a string that looks like a CSS selector to `querySelectorAll()
The challenge asks you to First, select all <a> elements inside the <nav> element and assign them to the variable
. Which you can match with nav a.
const select = document.querySelectorAll("nav a");
Should get you started on this challenge.
