var addTasks = function(){
console.log('Task added');
// when we add a task we need to create various elements init for that we need to use a document.createElement
var listItem = createElement(newTasks.value);
incomplete.appendChild(listItem);
setEvent(listItem,completedTasks);
}
// creating a new function which we're going to use for assigning a handling event to button under <ul> tag
var setEvent = function(liItems,checkboxHandler){
console.log('Access');
//here we're going to use query selector to access particular item we want to access
var checkbox = liItems.querySelector('input[type=checkbox]');
var delt = liItems.querySelector('button.delete');
var edit = liItems.querySelector('button.edit');
//assigning handler
checkbox.onchange = checkboxHandler;
delt.onclick = deleteTasks;
edit.onclick = editTasks;
}
why setEvent function is assigned here ?

229,657 PointsAre you asking why is the function being assigned to a variable, instead of being declared as a named function?
It could just be programmer preference, but if your snippet leaves out this happening inside a larger declaration, it could be that it is being established as a method of that larger scope. The same considerations might also apply to addTasks.
Or did I misunderstand the question?
