Prompt

// Select an HTML element by its ID
var outputElement = document.getElementById("output");

// Create a new paragraph element
var paragraph = document.createElement("p");

// Set the text content of the paragraph
paragraph.textContent = "Hello, World!";

// Append the paragraph to the selected element
outputElement.appendChild(paragraph);

The code provided selects an HTML element by its ID, creates a new paragraph element, sets the text content of the paragraph, and appends the paragraph to the selected element. It effectively adds the "Hello, World!" text to the chosen output element in the HTML document.

// JavaScript solution

// Select an HTML element by its ID
var outputElement = document.getElementById("output");

// Create a new paragraph element
var paragraph = document.createElement("p");

// Set the text content of the paragraph
paragraph.textContent = "Hello, World!";

// Append the paragraph to the selected element
outputElement.appendChild(paragraph);

Example: HTML:

<div id="output"></div>

JavaScript:

// Select an HTML element by its ID
var outputElement = document.getElementById("output");

// Create a new paragraph element
var paragraph = document.createElement("p");

// Set the text content of the paragraph
paragraph.textContent = "Hello, World!";

// Append the paragraph to the selected element
outputElement.appendChild(paragraph);

Unit Testing:

Test that the output element exists and is selected correctly by its ID.
Test that a new paragraph element is created.
Test that the text content of the paragraph is set to "Hello, World!".
Test that the paragraph is successfully appended to the selected output element.
