What is a paragraph element and how to create one?

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 document.creatElement(p);
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>

Hi Ali. There are 3 differences. You missed equal, letter e from creat(e) and apostrophe on the 2 line. :) So your code is good. 

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

Here more information from the paragraph element: (https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_paragraphs.asp)
