# --description--

The `text-transform` property in CSS is used to change the appearance of text. It's a convenient way to make sure text on a webpage appears consistently, without having to change the text content of the actual HTML elements.

The following table shows how the different `text-transform`values change the example text "Transform me".

<table class='table table-striped'><thead><tr><th>Value</th><th>Result</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>lowercase</code></td><td>"transform me"</td></tr><tr><td><code>uppercase</code></td><td>"TRANSFORM ME"</td></tr><tr><td><code>capitalize</code></td><td>"Transform Me"</td></tr><tr><td><code>initial</code></td><td>Use the default value</td></tr><tr><td><code>inherit</code></td><td>Use the <code>text-transform</code> value from the parent element</td></tr><tr><td><code>none</code></td><td><strong>Default:</strong> Use the original text</td></tr></tbody></table>

# --instructions--

Transform the text of the `h4` to be uppercase using the `text-transform` property.

# --hints--

The `h4` text should be uppercase.

```js
assert($('h4').css('text-transform') === 'uppercase');
```

The original text of the h4 should not be changed.

```js
assert($('h4').text() !== $('h4').text().toUpperCase());
```
