--description--

To strikethrough text, which is when a horizontal line cuts across the characters, you can use the s tag. It shows that a section of text is no longer valid. With the s tag, the browser applies the CSS of text-decoration: line-through; to the element.

--instructions--

Wrap the s tag around Google inside the h4 tag and then add the word Alphabet beside it without the strikethrough formatting.

--hints--

Your code should add one s tag to the markup.

js
assert.lengthOf(document.querySelectorAll('s'),1);

A s tag should wrap around the Google text in the h4 tag. It should not contain the word Alphabet.

js
assert.match(document.querySelector('h4 > s')?.textContent, /Google/gi);
assert.notMatch(document.querySelector('h4 > s')?.textContent, /Alphabet/gi);

You should include the word Alphabet in the h4 tag, without strikethrough formatting.

js
assert.match(document.querySelector('h4')?.innerHTML, /Alphabet/gi);
