What am I missing on this code challenge?

I think I set the class of "panel" to the paragraph which is generated as "newParagraph". Am I wrong?

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement("p");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

          <p class="panel"></p>

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

You shouldn't be modifying the html file. You need to perform the task programmatically using Javascript. You did the first step correctly in the Javascript, but in step two you need to give the P element the classname using Javascript.
