Hover text and icons appear

Hi guys when i hover this text 

 <div class="product-1">
                        <img src="images/product-1.png" alt="Product1">
                        <div class="product product-sec-1">
                            <h3>Even &amp; Odd</h3>
                        </div>
</div>

I want to appear this sets of icons and to hide the text

<div class="slider-icons">
                    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-eye" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>
                    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-star-o fa-star-slide " aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
                    </li>
                    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
                    </li>
                    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-cart-arrow-down" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
                       </li>
 </div>

My code is like that and is just hiding the text :

$('.product-sec-1 h3').hover(function(){
    $('.product-sec-1 h3').toggle()
});

Someone can help?

It's easy enough just to start the icons out hidden and toggle them at the same time:

BUT — if you hide the thing you are hovering, it's no longer "hovered" and will re-appear. This will start a hide/appear cycle that may appear as "flashing" on the screen. So what might work better is to have separate handlers for hover/unhover, and use the visibility property on the text instead of hiding it:

$(".slider-icons").hide();
$(".product-sec-1").hover(
  function() {
    $(".product-sec-1 h3").css("visibility", "hidden");
    $(".slider-icons").show();
  },
  function() {
    $(".product-sec-1 h3").css("visibility", "visible");
    $(".slider-icons").hide();
  }
);

In the end i made it just with CSS

That's another good way. I just assumed you wanted a code solution based on what you provided.

You might consider posting your final solution here for the benefit of other students!
