Reassigning text in HTML using js gives error

Trying to reassign the text in mark tag but everytime i run it its only changing one tag and gives an error

  let a = document.getElementsByTagName("mark").length;
  
  for(i=0;i<=a;i++){
    let b = document.getElementsByTagName("mark")[i];
    let c = document.getElementsByTagName("mark")[i].innerText ="AWESOME";
  }

All you need is to change your for loop: for(i=0;i<=a;i++)to for(i=0;i<a;i++), because you are starting from 0.

let a = document.getElementsByTagName("mark").length;
  
  for(i=0;i<a;i++){
    let b = document.getElementsByTagName("mark")[i];
    let c = document.getElementsByTagName("mark")[i].innerText ="AWESOME";
  }
<mark></mark>
<mark></mark>
<mark></mark>
<mark></mark>

Just changed the condition of for loop from i<=a to i<a

Explaination:-
The error comes because after every tag is iterated, for loop runs again when it finds no tag and b = undefined and it gives the error

Thank you.
