Why there are seven nodes in a tree paragraphs div?

Question

I have 3 paragraphs in my code. I change the text in those paragraphs to new text and numbers with JS. However I get numbers 1, 3 and 5. Also there are 7 elements in the selected elements array. Why?

Answer 1

use element.children rather than element.childNodes...

first return only elements (tags), while second return all nodes (tags but also text, comments and so on...)

Answer 2

Goodnight. You get an error at the end because you don't call the function:

(d.hasChildNodes)

You can find out by:
console.log(d.hasChildNodes)/*Recturn function;*/

but if you call it like this:

console.log(d.hasChildNodes());/*if the element exists: return true; else return false*/

if the object exists it returns true. otherwise false
