Tell us what’s happening:

The span element inside the rating paragraph should have ten stars, either filled in (:star:) or empty (☆), followed by a numerical value in parentheses after the span.
How can I get those colorful stars on my old pc? I could only get ten multiplication signs. Can someone advise?

Hi @SimbaBrynMahaja,

Is your numerical value after the span enclosed in parentheses?

Are you using the stars from the instructions?

Happy coding

3

I had to rethink my thinking, ‘parentheses’ or ‘parenthesis’. I got there in the end. However, I reckon the ‘stars’ will be learnt in CSS then.

Thanks again

4

The stars can just be copied/pasted from the instructions.

5

Of course, that’s how I did it. Except that inserting such stars would be part of CSS; is that true?

6

no, CSS is a specific language, you will learn more about that once you finish the HTML section

7

Your “stars” are just asterisks. They were not copied from the instructions.

There is no CSS in this challenge.

8

The challenge has been completed, thanks again. I didn’t know how to insert ‘asterisks’, except for the copy and paste.

Many thanks
