Now we will look at how we can compose multiple React components together. Imagine you are building an App and have created three components, a <code>Navbar</code>, <code>Dashboard</code>, and <code>Footer</code>.
To compose these components together, you could create an <code>App</code><i>parent</i> component which renders each of these three components as <i>children</i>. To render a component as a child in a React component, you include the component name written as a custom HTML tag in the JSX. For example, in the <code>render</code> method you could write:
When React encounters a custom HTML tag that references another component (a component name wrapped in <code>< /></code> like in this example), it renders the markup for that component in the location of the tag. This should illustrate the parent/child relationship between the <code>App</code> component and the <code>Navbar</code>, <code>Dashboard</code>, and <code>Footer</code>.

## Instructions
<sectionid='instructions'>
In the code editor, there is a simple functional component called <code>ChildComponent</code> and a React component called <code>ParentComponent</code>. Compose the two together by rendering the <code>ChildComponent</code> within the <code>ParentComponent</code>. Make sure to close the <code>ChildComponent</code> tag with a forward slash.
<strong>Note:</strong> <code>ChildComponent</code> is defined with an ES6 arrow function because this is a very common practice when using React. However, know that this is just a function. If you aren't familiar with the arrow function syntax, please refer to the JavaScript section.
testString: assert((function() { var shallowRender = Enzyme.shallow(React.createElement(ParentComponent)); return shallowRender.type() === 'div'; })(), 'The React component should return a single <code>div</code> element.');
testString: assert((function() { var shallowRender = Enzyme.shallow(React.createElement(ParentComponent)); return shallowRender.children().length === 2; })(), 'The component should return two nested elements.');
testString: assert((function() { const mockedComponent = Enzyme.mount(React.createElement(ParentComponent)); return mockedComponent.find('ParentComponent').find('ChildComponent').length === 1; })(), 'The component should return the ChildComponent as its second child.');
