HTML5 introduced the `figure` element and the related `figcaption` . Used together, these items wrap a visual representation (like an image, diagram, or chart) along with its caption. Wrapping these elements together gives a two-fold accessibility boost by semantically grouping related content and providing a text alternative explaining the `figure` .

For data visualizations like charts, the caption can be used to briefly note the trends or conclusions for users with visual impairments. Another challenge covers how to move a table version of the chart's data off-screen (using CSS) for screen reader users.

Here's an example - note that the `figcaption` goes inside the `figure` tags and can be combined with other elements:

```html
< figure >
< img src = "roundhouseDestruction.jpeg" alt = "Photo of Camper Cat executing a roundhouse kick" >
< br >
< figcaption >
Master Camper Cat demonstrates proper form of a roundhouse kick.
< / figcaption >
< / figure >
```

# --instructions--
Camper Cat is hard at work creating a stacked bar chart showing the amount of time per week to spend training in stealth, combat, and weapons. Help him structure his page better by changing the `div` tag he used to a `figure` tag, and the `p` tag that surrounds the caption to a `figcaption` tag.

# --hints--
Your code should have one `figure` tag.
```js
assert($('figure').length == 1);
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
```

Your code should have one `figcaption` tag.

2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
assert($('figcaption').length == 1);
```
Your code should not have any `div` tags.
```js
assert($('div').length == 0);
```
Your code should not have any `p` tags.
```js
assert($('p').length == 0);
```

The `figcaption` should be a child of the `figure` tag.
```js
assert($('figure').children('figcaption').length == 1);
```
Your `figure` element should have a closing tag.
```js
assert(
code.match(/< \/figure > /g) &&
code.match(/< \/figure > /g).length === code.match(/< figure > /g).length
);
```
