Error: Did you delete or comment out the provided JavaScript code?

This error confuses me because I thought I was supposed to write my code in the function provided, which is what the comment in the function says. Instead the error is asking me to make my own I think. Even when I comment out the provided code, it gives the same error. Does anyone understand this?

Never mind, I solved the problem. I don't know why I got that error, but I got past it

I'll keep this here for people that get the same error. I fixed it by moving "this"(function argument) into my line of code where 'li' is. I believe I did it without quotes
