# --description--

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);
```

Your code should have one `figcaption` tag.

```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
);
```
