# --description--

Normally, your `button` elements with the `btn` and `btn-default` classes are only as wide as the text that they contain. For example:

`<button class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>`

This button would only be as wide as the word "Submit".

<button class='btn btn-default'>Submit</button>

By making them block elements with the additional class of `btn-block`, your button will stretch to fill your page's entire horizontal space and any elements following it will flow onto a "new line" below the block.

`<button class="btn btn-default btn-block">Submit</button>`

This button would take up 100% of the available width.

<button class='btn btn-default btn-block'>Submit</button>

Note that these buttons still need the `btn` class.

Add Bootstrap's `btn-block` class to your Bootstrap button.

# --hints--

Your button should still have the `btn` and `btn-default` classes.

```js
assert($('button').hasClass('btn') && $('button').hasClass('btn-default'));
```

Your button should have the class `btn-block`.

```js
assert($('button').hasClass('btn-block'));
```

All of your `button` elements should have closing tags.

```js
assert(
  code.match(/<\/button>/g) &&
    code.match(/<button/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/button>/g).length === code.match(/<button/g).length
);
```
