Final answer:

To perform the action, attach an event listener to the button in JavaScript and update the label's content with the likes variable upon clicking.

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate the action described into JavaScript, you'll need to add an event listener to the button so it reacts when clicked. Then, within the event listener's callback function, you'll update the text of the label with the ID labelCounter by setting its textContent or innerText property to the value of the variable likes. Below is a sample code that demonstrates this:

const button = document.getElementById('myButton');
const labelCounter = document.getElementById('labelCounter');

let likes = 0; // Presuming likes is a variable that exists and is an integer

button.addEventListener('click', function() {
likes++;
labelCounter.textContent = likes;
});

This code assumes that your HTML has elements with the IDs myButton and labelCounter. Every time the button is clicked, the function increases the value of likes, then updates labelCounter with the new value.
