Select the unordered list element and store it in the variable myList

How to solve this question. Maybe I don't understand what the question means.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <ul>
            <li id="first">First Item</li>
            <li id="second">Second Item</li>
            <li id="third">Third Item</li>
        </ul>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>
app.js 
let myList = document.querySelectorAll('li');
let firstListItem;

Hi,

Part 1:

Select the unordered list element and store it in the variable myList

You are selecting the ul (unordered list element ) tag not the li tag.

My solution:

let myList = document.querySelector("ul");
let firstListItem;

Hope this helps.
