The small challenge

What is better solution when I need to append new elements to the website?

The teacher wrote the line of code like this:

const $confirm = $('<label><input type="checkbox">Allow PDF downloads</lable>');
$('#links').append($confirm);

I wrote the code like this:

const $label = $('<label></label>');
const $input = $('<input>');

$input.attr('type', 'checkbox');

$('#links').append($label);
$label.text('Allow PDF downloads');
$label.prepend($input);

I think the teacher's code is simple.

Both Solutions are perfectly valid but the method the teacher used is easier to read, good work on coming up with a working solution that was different.
