var lis = document.querySelectorAll("li");
for(var i = 0; i < lis.length; i++){
lis[i].addEventListener("click", function());
Why can't we do this instead?
lis.addEventListener("click", function());

3Because array does not have `.addEventListener`, it's not jQuery – Justinas Jul 20 '18 at 06:29

You *can* do something similar if the selected items are all children of some container - use event delegation – CertainPerformance Jul 20 '18 at 06:29

1Delegation as in `document.querySelector("ul").addEventListener("click",function(e) { if (e.target.tagName=="LI") console.log(this.innerText)});` – mplungjan Jul 20 '18 at 06:31
