# --description--

The last two challenges cover the basics of displaying data dynamically with D3 using the `data()` and `enter()` methods. These methods take a data set and, together with the `append()` method, create a new DOM element for each entry in the data set.

In the previous challenge, you created a new `h2` element for each item in the `dataset` array, but they all contained the same text, `New Title`. This is because you have not made use of the data that is bound to each of the `h2` elements.

The D3 `text()` method can take a string or a callback function as an argument:

```js
selection.text((d) => d)
```

In the example above, the parameter `d` refers to a single entry in the dataset that a selection is bound to.

Using the current example as context, the first `h2` element is bound to 12, the second `h2` element is bound to 31, the third `h2` element is bound to 22, and so on.

# --instructions--

Change the `text()` method so that each `h2` element displays the corresponding value from the `dataset` array with a single space and the string `USD`. For example, the first heading should be `12 USD`.

# --hints--

The first `h2` should have the text `12 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(0).text() == '12 USD');
```

The second `h2` should have the text `31 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(1).text() == '31 USD');
```

The third `h2` should have the text `22 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(2).text() == '22 USD');
```

The fourth `h2` should have the text `17 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(3).text() == '17 USD');
```

The fifth `h2` should have the text `25 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(4).text() == '25 USD');
```

The sixth `h2` should have the text `18 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(5).text() == '18 USD');
```

The seventh `h2` should have the text `29 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(6).text() == '29 USD');
```

The eighth `h2` should have the text `14 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(7).text() == '14 USD');
```

The ninth `h2` should have the text `9 USD`.

```js
assert($('h2').eq(8).text() == '9 USD');
```
