# --description--

Remember that the `document` object has a `.createElement()` method which allows you to dynamically create new HTML elements.

In your `createLabel` function, declare a `label` variable and assign it a new `div` element.

# --hints--

You should declare a `label` variable in your `createLabel` function.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s*createLabel\s*=\s*\(?\s*name\s*\)?\s*=>\s*\{\s*(?:const|let|var)\s*label/);
```

Your `label` variable should be declared with `const`.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s*createLabel\s*=\s*\(?\s*name\s*\)?\s*=>\s*\{\s*const\s*label/);
```

You should use the `.createElement()` method of the `document` object.

```js
assert.match(code, /document\.createElement\(/);
```

You should pass the string `div` to the `.createElement()` method.

```js
assert.match(code, /document\.createElement\(\s*('|"|`)div\1\s*\)/);
```

You should assign your new `div` element to `label`.

```js
assert.match(code, /const\s*label\s*=\s*document\.createElement\(\s*('|"|`)div\1\s*\)/)
```
