Be careful! In this case, you actually created a loop. When the event listener is triggered, it will add a new event listener each time, meaning it will stack each time the input is clicked. Compare what you have to something like this.

function addingEventListener() {
  const input = document.getElementById("button");

  function clickAlert() {
    alert("I was clicked!");
  }

  input.addEventListener("click", clickAlert);
}
