You see how we made all of your `button` elements bounce? We selected them with `$("button")` , then we added some CSS classes to them with `.addClass("animated bounce");` .

You just used jQuery's `.addClass()` function, which allows you to add classes to elements.

First, let's target your `div` elements with the class `well` by using the `$(".well")` selector.

Note that, just like with CSS declarations, you type a `.` before the class's name.

Then use jQuery's `.addClass()` function to add the classes `animated` and `shake` .

2021-02-06 04:42:36 +00:00
For example, you could make all the elements with the class `text-primary` shake by adding the following to your `document ready function` :
2018-10-10 18:03:03 -04:00
2020-12-16 00:37:30 -07:00
`$(".text-primary").addClass("animated shake");`

You should use the jQuery `addClass()` function to give the classes `animated` and `shake` to all your elements with the class `well` .
2018-10-10 18:03:03 -04:00
2020-12-16 00:37:30 -07:00
```js
assert($('.well').hasClass('animated') & & $('.well').hasClass('shake'));
2018-10-10 18:03:03 -04:00
```
2021-02-06 04:42:36 +00:00
You should only use jQuery to add these classes to the element.
2018-10-10 18:03:03 -04:00
2020-12-16 00:37:30 -07:00
```js
assert(!code.match(/class\.\*animated/g));
2018-10-10 18:03:03 -04:00
```
