Where am I?
In this exercise, you will navigate to a specific element using your new knowledge of XPath notation.
Consider the HTML code:
<html>
<body>
<div>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Not here...</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Where am I?</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Your job will be to create an XPath string using single forward-slashes and brackets which navigates to the paragraph p element which contains the text "Where am I?".
