Add Class To Variable

I just don't get it. Could someone help me with this challenge question: Set the class of panel to the newParagraph.

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement("p");
newParagraph =
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

I did it like this:

const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
newParagraph.className = 'panel';
