Alter the callback function to use the event object. Using the event object, ensure that the browser's default form submit behavior does not occur when the form is submitted.
what should i write?
const form = document.querySelector('form');
const submitButton = form.querySelector('[type=Submit]');
const input = form.querySelector('input');
form.addEventListener('submit', () => {
e.preventDefault();
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Submit Event</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

You called the right method, but you're referencing "e" without declaring it as a parameter of the callback:
form.addEventListener('submit', e => { // <-- add the parameter "e"
