   <br>
   <li class="subjectName">MySQL <button>Remove</button></li>
   <br>
   <li class="subjectName">MongoDB <button>Remove</button></li>

   <li class="subjectName">Java <button>Remove</button></li>

      allSubjectName[index].addEventListener("click", function(){
         this.classList.toggle("active");
