undefined error.

const bigH = document.getElementById('h2'); bigH.addEventListener('click', () =>{ console.log("click"); })

I ran the previous code on visual studio code, the error that I get from the console of the web page was That "const bigH is undefiend".

I think there should be semicolon at the end of event Listener. h2 is a element name, It could be an ID, I did not see your HTML. Give it different id, for example "something" and then const something = document.getElementById(''something");
