## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
- text: Make the variable <code>quotient</code> equal to 2.
  testString: 'assert(quotient === 2, ''Make the variable <code>quotient</code> equal to 2.'');'
- text: Use the <code>/</code> operator
  testString: 'assert(/\d+\s*\/\s*\d+/.test(code), ''Use the <code>/</code> operator'');'
