Hey!

It won't work because 'odds' is an array of li's and you can't change the style to the collection in one step.

Instead, you could loop over the array of li's, select each one individually by using the index to access the odds array and then apply the style. Like so:

for(let i = 0; i < odds.length; i++){
    odds[i].style.color = 'purple';
}
