Not understanding the print function inside the printList function?

I do not understand how you can get the list printed inside the <ol> tags. My guess is that you are building the HTML tags then after looping through the list up to the list length you then only need to add the </ol> tag last. Then I am assuming the print function is suppose to be short for document.write the whole listHTML variable?

You can create the li elements (with create Element method) then append them to the ol tags making them children of the ol tags. In your index.html you should have the ol tags and by bubbling the li tags should be displayed. You could create a for loop to iterate adding the li tags. Hope this helps!
