For every paragraph element change the color to be blue.
(Hint: remember, paragraphs contains a collection of elements, so you'll need to use a loop and access each element inside.)
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;
for (i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i +=) {
paragraphs[i].style.color = 'red';
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

<body>
<section>
<p>This is the first paragraph</p>
<p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
<p>Shorter, last paragraph</p>
</section>

Firstly, you did not declare the i variable in the loop like this let i=0. Secondly, at your last statement in your loop you forgot to increment the variable by one like this i+=1. and lastly it is asking you to change the color to blue and not red.
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;
for (let i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i +=1) {
paragraphs[i].style.color = 'blue';
}
