# --description--

The last few challenges showed that each object in the JSON array contains an `imageLink` key with a value that is the URL of a cat's image.

When you're looping through these objects, you can use this `imageLink` property to display this image in an `img` element.

Here's the code that does this:

```js
html += "<img src = '" + val.imageLink + "' " + "alt='" + val.altText + "'>";
```

# --instructions--

Add code to use the `imageLink` and `altText` properties in an `img` tag.

# --hints--

You should use the `imageLink` property to display the images.

```js
assert(code.match(/val\.imageLink/g));
```

You should use the `altText` for the `alt` attribute values of the images.

```js
assert(code.match(/val\.altText/g));
```
