The instructions say "set the text content of the <p>
elementβ¦", and since you will be setting it, both the selection of the element and the accessing of the textContent will go on the left side of the assignment.
Finally, since there's only one paragraph on the page, you can get away with using "p" as the selector, but to be technically precise "the <p>
element with the class info
" would be selected with "p.info".
