I am trying to addEventListener to all of my buttons. This is my first time using addEventListener and it is not running the usergetNumber function which should display a random number when any button is clicked.
const btns = document.querySelectorAll(".button");
btns.forEach(function(i) {
i.addEventListener('click', usergetNumber(){
});
function usergetNumber(){
const userRanNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)
userscore_div.innerHTML = "You have " + userRanNum + " points";
computergetNumber();
function computergetNumber(){
const compRanNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)
computerscore_div.innerHTML = "You have " + compRanNum + " points";
}
What am I doing wrong?

From top to bottom.
- There’s already a function
usergetNumber() { ... }declaration inaddEventListener(). It’s a function declaration not a callback here. Ref: Event Listener Callbacks. - The closing bracket on
usergetNumber() { ...is missing so therefore it isn’t declared.
Here’s a basic example. You can also just return and not console.log. Here, I’m just trying to duplicate the logic.
const btn = document.querySelectorAll('button');
function getRandomNum() {
let randomNum = Math.random();
console.log(randomNum);
}
btn.forEach(function(button) {
button.addEventListener('click', getRandomNum);
});
