# --description--

Here are the ids of the other HTML elements that we want a reference to in the JavaScript code: `button2`, `button3`, `text`, `xpText`, `healthText`, `goldText`, `monsterStats`, `monsterNameText`, `monsterHealthText`.

Just like you did with `storeButton`, create variables and set them equal to the element references.

# --hints--

See description above for instructions.

```js
assert(
  /const\s+button2\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#button2\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
    code
  ) &&
    /const\s+button3\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#button3\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    ) &&
    /const\s+text\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#text\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    ) &&
    /const\s+xpText\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#xpText\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    ) &&
    /const\s+healthText\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#healthText\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    ) &&
    /const\s+goldText\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#goldText\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    ) &&
    /const\s+monsterStats\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#monsterStats\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    ) &&
    /const\s+monsterNameText|monsterName\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#monsterName\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    ) &&
    /const\s+monsterHealthText|monsterHealth\s*\=\s*document.querySelector\(\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\#monsterHealth\s*[\'\"\`]\s*\);?/.test(
      code
    )
