Hi guys, i have made a simple convertor using HTML+CSS+JS which takes an input and converts it into different dimensions and displays it in a dynamically created <p> element inside a div. When i enter new input, it shows the conversion below previous <p> element. How to erase previous conversion when entering a new input? I have tried to google it but i couldn't understand much.

This method should do the trick:

function clearChildren(element) {
  while(element.lastChild) {
    element.removeChild(element.lastChild);
  }
}```
