why doesn't this loop work?

when I want to iterate through an array consisting of color values to style elements inside "bttn" node-list, it doesn't work(in the form of C[i]). but when I write the index number within the brackets like this: C[0], it works what's the problem and how should I fix it? https://code.sololearn.com/Wa54a61a6A11

// a safe code for you window.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', // when dom ready function() { var bttn = document.querySelectorAll('.btn'); // elements var C = [ 'red', 'green', 'purple' ]; // colors bttn.forEach( // for all elements function (el, i) { el.addEventListener( // el onclick 'click', function (e) { e.target.style.color = C[i]; // the index of the .btn element will be kept here } ) } ); } );

So many issues OK first do all of them inside of onload event listener or do it in a script tag in body tag,please don't do functions in a loop scope use : document.querySelectorAll object has a bttn.forEach method use it.. use it as bttn.forEach((ele, i) => {ele.add...})...

thank you. I thought because NodeList object is not a real array it will not work with forEach, but it worked
