## Explanation
In the HTML tab:
* **Lines 5 to 9**: We create a 5 HTML `div`.
* **Line 7**: We import the `jQuery` script. 

>Note: We import the older version.

In the JavaScript tab:
* **Line 3**: We use the `size()` method to count the number of `div`.
* **Line 5**: We output the `numberOfDivs` on the console.

## Output
The `size()` method counts the number of elements that match the selector `div` and output the result to the console.

> Note: This method was deprecated in the jQuery version ^1.8 and was removed in the jQuery version ^3.0.
