Adding the JavaScript code

Follow the steps below to add the JavaScript code to the index.html file.

1. Scroll down the web page until you see an empty pair of opening <script> and closing </script> tags.
2. Click inside the empty pair of tags and paste the JavaScript code below.

   (function() {
      const pictures = [
         "dublin-0",
         "dublin-1",
         "dublin-2",
         "dublin-3",
         "dublin-4",
         "dublin-5"
   ];
   
   // Select both left and right button. Add event listeners
   const buttons = document.querySelectorAll('.btn')
   const imageDIV = document.querySelector('.container-img')
   let counter = 0
   
   buttons.forEach(function(button){
      button.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   
         if (button.classList.contains('btn-left')) {
            counter--;
            if (counter < 0) {
               counter = pictures.length - 1;
            }
            imageDIV.style.backgroundImage = `url('assets/img/${pictures[counter]}.jpg')`
            console.log(imageDIV.style.backgroundImage = `url('assets/img/${pictures[counter]}.jpg')`)
         }
   
         if (button.classList.contains('btn-right')) {
            counter++;
            if (counter > pictures.length - 1) {
            counter = 0;
         }
         imageDIV.style.backgroundImage = `url('assets/img/${pictures[counter]}.jpg')`
         console.log(imageDIV.style.backgroundImage = `url('assets/img/${pictures[counter]}.jpg')`)
         }
       }) // Ends loop for left and right arrows
      })
   })();

3. Save your index.html file.
4. Display the file in a web browser and verify it works correctly.
