![:triangular_flag_on_post:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/triangular_flag_on_post.png?v=3 ":triangular_flag_on_post:") Remember to use <a>**`Read-Search-Ask`**</a> if you get stuck. Try to pair program ![:busts_in_silhouette:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/busts_in_silhouette.png?v=3 ":busts_in_silhouette:") and write your own code ![:pencil:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/pencil.png?v=3 ":pencil:")
[This challenge](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/data-visualization/data-visualization-with-d3/add-document-elements-with-d3) introduces three core methods of **d3.js**: ### Problem Explanation:
* The `d3.select()` method
* The `d3.append()` method
* The `d3.text()` method
### The select() Method This challenge can be completed by referring to the example in the description and modifying the parameters to those that are in the instructions.
The select method is crucial, because it tells the browser where to put any _d3.js_ code written afterwords. In _Javascript_, you would write `document.getElementById('#myId');`. In _d3.js_, you would write `d3.select('#myId')`.
### The append() method #### Relevant Links
The append method is similar to _jsx_ in _react_, markup in _html_ or the `appendChild()` method in _Javascript_. For Example, writing `d3.select('#myId').append('p')` would be the same as writing `...<p></p>...`
### The text() method From the official D3 Documentation:
The text method is the third step in applying content to a page using _d3.js_. We have selected an element in our html and added an element. Now, we need to fill the empty element. We do that like this: `d3.select('#myId').append('p').text('sup World!')`. This is akin to writing `...<p>'sup World!</p>...` in html. * [Select](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/README.md#select)
* [Append](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/README.md#selection_append)
* [Text](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/README.md#selection_text)
## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 1
* You will need to use `d3` to reference the D3 object and chain your methods

## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 2
* To chain methods together, simply start the next one directly after the previous one has ended. The example shows this on separate lines to improve readability. Make sure not to put a semicolon after any of the methods or the code will break.

## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 3
* The example shows exactly what is needed, all that needs to be changed are the parameters. E.g. replace 'ul' in the `select` method with 'body'.

**Solution ahead!**
## ![:beginner:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/beginner.png?v=3 ":beginner:") Basic Code Solution:
```javascript
<body>
<script>
### The Solution
Add the folowing code to your editor:
```
d3.select('body') d3.select('body')
.append('h1') .append('h1')
.text('Learning D3'); .text('Learning D3');
</script>
</body>
``` ```
# Code Explanation:
* `d3` targets the D3 object
* `.select('body')` uses the D3 `select` method to target the `body` HTML node
* `.append('h1')` uses the D3 `append` method to "append" or attach an `h1` element to the `body` element
* `.text('Learning D3')` uses the D3 `text` method to change the text of the `h1` element to 'Learning D3'
* The semicolon ends the method chain, but is not required
* Note that the methods are on separate lines for improved readability, as d3 method chains can get quite lengthy
