--description--

The last challenge created an svg element with a given width and height, which was visible because it had a background-color applied to it in the style tag. The code made space for the given width and height.

The next step is to create a shape to put in the svg area. There are a number of supported shapes in SVG, such as rectangles and circles. They are used to display data. For example, a rectangle (<rect>) SVG shape could create a bar in a bar chart.

When you place a shape into the svg area, you can specify where it goes with x and y coordinates. The origin point of (0, 0) is in the upper-left corner. Positive values for x push the shape to the right, and positive values for y push the shape down from the origin point.

To place a shape in the middle of the 500 (width) x 100 (height) svg from last challenge, the x coordinate would be 250 and the y coordinate would be 50.

An SVG rect has four attributes. There are the x and y coordinates for where it is placed in the svg area. It also has a height and width to specify the size.

--instructions--

Add a rect shape to the svg using append(), and give it a width attribute of 25 and height attribute of 100. Also, give the rect x and y attributes each set to 0.

--hints--

Your document should have 1 rect element.

assert($('rect').length == 1);

The rect element should have a width attribute set to 25.

assert($('rect').attr('width') == '25');

The rect element should have a height attribute set to 100.

assert($('rect').attr('height') == '100');

The rect element should have an x attribute set to 0.

assert($('rect').attr('x') == '0');

The rect element should have a y attribute set to 0.

assert($('rect').attr('y') == '0');
