# --description--

A figure caption (`figcaption`) element is used to add a caption to describe the image contained within the `figure` element. 

Here is an example of a `figcaption` element with the caption of `A cute cat`:

```html
<figure>
  <img src="image.jpg" alt="A description of the image">
  <figcaption>A cute cat</figcaption>
</figure>
```

After the image nested in the `figure` element, add a `figcaption` element with text set to:

`Cats love lasagna.`

# --hints--

Your `figcaption` element should have an opening tag. Opening tags have the following syntax: `<elementName>`.

```js
assert.exists(document.querySelector('figcaption'));
```

Your `figcaption` element should have a closing tag. Closing tags have a `/` just after the `<` character.

```js
assert.match(code, /<\/figcaption\>/);
```

The `figcaption` element should be nested in the `figure` element.

```js
assert.exists(document.querySelector('figure > figcaption'));
```

The lasagna `img` element should be nested in the `figure` element.

```js
assert.exists(document.querySelector('figure > img'))
assert.equal(
    document.querySelector('figure > img')?.getAttribute('src').toLowerCase(),
      'https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/lasagna.jpg'
);
```

The `figcaption` element nested in the `figure` element should be below the `img` element. You have them in the wrong order.

```js
assert.equal(
  document.querySelector('figcaption')?.previousElementSibling.nodeName, 'IMG'
);
```

Your `figcaption` element's text should be `Cats love lasagna.` You have either omitted the text or have a typo.

```js
assert.match(
  document.querySelector('figcaption')?.innerText?.trim(), /Cats love lasagna.?$/i
);
```
