## Description
<section id='description'>
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on <a href="https://repl.it/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai">Repl.it</a>, or cloned from <a href='https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-mochachai/'>GitHub</a>.
This exercise is similar to the preceding one. Look at it for the details.

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Send 

```json
{
  "surname": "da Verrazzano"
}
```

Replace <code>assert.fail()</code> and make the test pass.
Check for 1) <code>status</code>, 2) <code>type</code>, 3) <code>body.name</code>, 4) <code>body.surname</code>.
Follow the assertion order above: we rely on it.

```yml
tests:
  - text: All tests should pass
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.status' to be 200
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[0], 'res.status'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[1], '200');}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.type' to be 'application/json'
