Im unsure why Guil keeps the li index values after deleting the for loop. Wouldn't this result in an error of undefined?

Python Development Techdegree Student 36,887 PointsHi Hugo,
As Guil says in the video:
there's a problem, when events fire on listDiv, how do we know which list item is triggering the event? The only thing we have is a reference to the entire div. So in the next video I'll show you how to solve that problem using what's called the event object.
So at the end of the video, the thing that will replace listitems[i], is a concept that has not been used and so
needs to be explained (the event object). Guil promises that once the concept is explained, these will be replaced in the next video.
Sure enough, in the next video (The Event Object), Guil starts by explaining the event object, and then demonstrates replacing the broken code (at around 1:20) with the replacement code.
Hope that clears everything up for you.
Cheers,
Alex
