--description--

Instead of specifying an element's padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom, and padding-left properties individually, you can specify them all in one line, like this:

css
padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;

These four values work like a clock: top, right, bottom, left, and will produce the exact same result as using the side-specific padding instructions.

--instructions--

Use Clockwise Notation to give the .blue-box class a padding of 40px on its top and left side, but only 20px on its bottom and right side.

--hints--

Your blue-box class should give the top of elements 40px of padding.

js
const blueBox = document.querySelector('.blue-box');
const paddingTop = window.getComputedStyle(blueBox)['padding-top'];
assert.strictEqual(paddingTop, '40px');

Your blue-box class should give the right of elements 20px of padding.

js
const blueBox = document.querySelector('.blue-box');
const paddingRight = window.getComputedStyle(blueBox)['padding-right'];
assert.strictEqual(paddingRight, '20px');

Your blue-box class should give the bottom of elements 20px of padding.

js
const blueBox = document.querySelector('.blue-box');
const paddingBottom = window.getComputedStyle(blueBox)['padding-bottom'];
assert.strictEqual(paddingBottom, '20px');

Your blue-box class should give the left of elements 40px of padding.

js
const blueBox = document.querySelector('.blue-box');
const paddingLeft = window.getComputedStyle(blueBox)['padding-left'];
assert.strictEqual(paddingLeft, '40px');

You should use the clockwise notation to set the padding of blue-box class.

js
const css =  __helpers.removeCssComments(document.querySelector('style:not(.fcc-hide-header)').textContent);
assert.match(css, /\.blue-box\s*{[\s\S]*padding\s*:\s*\d+px\s+\d+px\s+\d+px\s+\d+px(;\s*[^}]+\s*}|;?\s*})/);
