Wrong type of parameter

paginationList.addEventListener("click", (e) => {

    const active = paginationList.querySelector(".active");

    // getting all the buttons so one knows the event target is a BUTTON
    const buttons = paginationList.querySelectorAll("button");

    // looping through all the buttons to check if e.target was one of them (the user clicked a button)
    for(let i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++){
