HTML and CSS

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
 <meta charset="UTF-8">
 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
 <title>Document</title>
 <style>
 body{
 min-height: 100vh;
 display: flex;
 align-items: center;
 justify-content: center;
        }
 </style>
</head>
<body>
 <div>
 <p id="text" style="display: none;">Text to be displayed</p>
 <button type="button" id="displayBtn">Show</button>

 <script src="script.js"></script>
 </div>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript

let text = document.getElementById('text');
let showBtn = document.getElementById('displayBtn');

showBtn.addEventListener('click', display)

 if(text.style.display == 'none'){
 text.style.display = 'block';
