# --description--
D3 is about visualization and presentation of data. It's likely you'll want to change the styling of elements based on the data. You can use a callback function in the `style()` method to change the styling for different elements.
For example, you may want to color a data point blue if it has a value less than 20, and red otherwise. You can use a callback function in the `style()` method and include the conditional logic. The callback function uses the `d` parameter to represent the data point:

```js
selection.style("color", (d) => {
2021-03-05 11:25:29 -08:00
2019-05-14 05:04:05 -07:00
});
```

The `style()` method is not limited to setting the `color` - it can be used with other CSS properties as well.

Add the `style()` method to the code in the editor to set the `color` of the `h2` elements conditionally. Write the callback function so if the data value is less than 20, it returns red, otherwise it returns green.

**Note:** You can use if-else logic, or the ternary operator.

The first `h2` should have a `color` of red.
```js
assert($('h2').eq(0).css('color') == 'rgb(255, 0, 0)');
