Without quotes is Variable.

4,490 PointsI understood the basic concept but I used quotes where I shouldn't have
div.appendChild('p');
I think I was thrown because the variable was named p the same as the element.
I was also confused about having it be the last child element, but I guess it's the last one automatically.
