The console will output the message "I'm being removed":

I don't fully understand what this code is reads.

Will the output message post if the button remove is clicked?

I believe this is the code you are referring to:

card.addEventListener('click', (e) => { 
 if (e.target.tagName === 'BUTTON') { 
  if (e.target.textContent === 'remove') { 
   console.log("I'm being removed"); 
  } 
 } 
});

The important thing to notice here is that the log statement is nested inside two "if" statements. So it will only run when both of the conditions is true. The first one is testing if the clicked item is a button, and the second one tests if the text on the button says "remove".

Right, Originally I read the code incorrectly but was only confused by the structure of how the if statements are written. Thanks for the help Steven!
