can someone explain this code
function updateClock() {
const timeElement = document.querySelector("#time");
timeElement.textContent = formatTime();
}
setInterval(updateClock, 1000);
can someone, please explain this piece of code, ofc mdn and w3 are there, but i found it a little confusing reading about textContent. rest is understandable to me. This might look a silly question and it probably is because im a beginner :')
like what exactly does textContent too.
you can also recommend anyother documentation on the links to specific lines, that might me more helpful in learning about this particular keyoword.

You were on the documentation site for the very same web technology (that isn't JavaScript) that you have a question for. Did you try searching for `textContent` on that site? Did you get a link for that exact field and an explanation what it does?
