In the text variable in the line below, "text" is set to equal the input value, what is entered in the form's input text box.
const text = input.value;
The text gathered in the input value is stored in the variable "text"( in the line above), we are setting the text content of the li element to be that "text" variable in this line below:
li.textContent = text;
This line below is where the text value gets written to the page. It is saying go to the "ul" variable and append a "li" (list item) to the "ul" (unordered list).
ul.appendChild(li);
And the "li" that it is appending to the "ul" has a text content defined by the variable "text" which equals the input value entered in the form(text input).
I don't know if I did a good job of explaining, Maybe some other Community members will chime in as well.
Happy coding!
