Please show your whole code.

Code

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

I think this is a correct code, nice job! I don't think there's a bug in it. Happy coding!

For "Basics" course code, this looks pretty good to me. :+1:

For now, the focus is on general language syntax, vocabulary, and common control structures. Optimization is a bit more advanced and later courses will cover techniques that will be useful for that.
