Why is the button too small?

The button works but it's not big enough for the text and it's barely big enough to see. What am I missing?

// 7: Create a <button> element, and set its text to 'Delete'
// Add the <button> inside the '.extra' <div>
const del = document.createElement('button');
del.textContent + "Delete";
const divE = document.querySelector('.extra');
divE.appendChild(del);
// 8: Remove the '.extra' <div> element from the DOM when a user clicks the 'Delete' button
const divC = document.querySelector('.container');
del.addEventListener('click', () => {
                        divC.removeChild(divE);
                        });

I believe it is because you have a typo. Check your second line of actual code where you set del.textContent

Thanks, I changed the + to = and it looks right now.
