Help me please. I don't know why it doesn't work

On line 2 of app.js, create a paragraph element and assign it to the newParagraph variable.

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = p.createElement;
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>

Hey geehun! Your not using the proper syntax, you should be doing:

let newParagraph = document.createElement("p");
