--description--

Classes are reusable styles that can be added to HTML elements.

Here's an example CSS class declaration:

<style>
.blue-text {
color: blue;
}
</style>

You can see that we've created a CSS class called blue-text within the <style> tag. You can apply a class to an HTML element like this: <h2 class="blue-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>. Note that in your CSS style element, class names start with a period. In your HTML elements' class attribute, the class name does not include the period.

--instructions--

Inside your style element, change the h2 selector to .red-text and update the color's value from blue to red.

Give your h2 element the class attribute with a value of red-text.

--hints--

Your h2 element should be red.

assert($('h2').css('color') === 'rgb(255, 0, 0)');

Your h2 element should have the class red-text.

assert($('h2').hasClass('red-text'));

Your stylesheet should declare a red-text class and have its color set to red.

assert(code.match(/\.red-text\s*\{\s*color\s*:\s*red;?\s*\}/g));

You should not use inline style declarations like style="color: red" in your h2 element.

assert($('h2').attr('style') === undefined);

--seed-contents--

<style>
h2 {
color: blue;
}
</style>
