# --description--
There are a number of D3 functions to work with how the "ticks" or your axis labels are displayed; one of them is `ticks`. Go back to where you defined the `yAxis` variable and chain a `ticks` function to it and pass it these two arguments: `6, '~s'`.
The `6` will set the number of ticks used to 6, and the `~s` will make the labels display the number of thousands followed by a `k`. For example, `4000` will become `4k`.
# --hints--
test-text
```js
const ticks = $('.tick > text');
assert(
ticks[0].innerHTML === '0k' &&
ticks[1].innerHTML === '1k' &&
ticks[2].innerHTML === '2k' &&
ticks[3].innerHTML === '3k' &&
ticks[4].innerHTML === '4k' &&
ticks[5].innerHTML === '5k'
);
```
