i can't understand why the teacher add the line ''$newColor.click()"at the bottom. I have tried, if there is no this line, the effects works as well.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 30,766 PointsThe variable $newColor is assigned to the <li></li> in .controls li.
<script>
$(".controls li").click(function() {
// Execute code once this is clicked
});
$newColor = $("<li></li>"); // The variable is assigned to the <li></li>
$newColor.css(); // Changes the CSS of the li
$newColor.click(); // Triggers $(".controls li") because $newColor is assigned to the <li></li> in .controls
</script>
This Step was a little difficult and hard to explain. If you have questions please comment :)
