You're right about event.target.
For event.currentTarget, it returns a reference to the element that fired the event. e.g
let randomVar = document.getElementById('randomDivId'); randomVar.addEventListener("click", function(event){ console.log(event.target, event.currentTarget); }, false)
Same rules for event.target applies here, but as for event.currentTarget, regardless of the children of randomDivId that you click, it will always return the randomDivId element.
randomDivId
Hope you get it now?
