Javascript help!

I want to perform an action where if the user hits the button, it would display: “I told you not to hit this button!” How can I accomplish this? Thanks. https://code.sololearn.com/WnOHXiJKY2HN/?ref=app

You need to add event listener to the button, listening to the click event. 1. The simplest way is using onclick attribute at the button element. 2. Another way is to use assign onclick callback on the element in JavaScript. 3. The third way is to use addEventListener method.
