How can I capture a user's "tap" event with pure JS? I cannot use any libraries, unfortunately.

An event listener is a procedure in JavaScript that waits for an event to occur. The simple example of an event is a user clicking the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard.
onTouchStart start is a touch event which fires when the user touches the element. onClick is a mouse event which fires when user clicks on the element.
The touchmove event is used to execute a script when the user moves the finger across the screen. It works only on touch screen devices and triggers once for every movement and continues to trigger until the finger is released.
Syntax. element.addEventListener(event, function, useCapture); The first parameter is the type of the event (like " click " or " mousedown " or any other HTML DOM Event.) The second parameter is the function we want to call when the event occurs.
The click event is triggered on mouse click as well as on a touch click.
The touchstart event is triggered when the screen is touched.
The touchend event is triggered when the touch ends. If the default action is prevented, a click event will not trigger.
