Currently, the event listener applies a yellow background color to the section element and its child elements when click

Question

Currently, the event listener applies a yellow background color to the section element and its child elements when clicked. Add a condition that changes the background of the <input> elements only.

no clue :(

app.js

let section = document.getElementsByTagName('section')[0];
let input = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
  if (event.target.tagName == input) {
  e.target.style.backgroundColor = 'rgb(255, 255, 0)';
  }});

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>JavaScript and the DOM</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <section>

The tag name test should compare with the literal string "INPUT". You won't need to create another variable.

Literal strings need to be enclosed in quotes, and tag name are always stored in upper case.
