# --description--
Let's try this again, but with `margin` this time.
Instead of specifying an element's `margin-top` , `margin-right` , `margin-bottom` , and `margin-left` properties individually, you can specify them all in one line, like this:
`margin: 10px 20px 10px 20px;`
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
These four values work like a clock: top, right, bottom, left, and will produce the exact same result as using the side-specific margin instructions.

# --instructions--
Use Clockwise Notation to give the element with the `blue-box` class a margin 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 `margin` .
```js
assert($('.blue-box').css('margin-top') === '40px');
```
Your `blue-box` class should give the right of elements `20px` of `margin` .
```js
assert($('.blue-box').css('margin-right') === '20px');

```

Your `blue-box` class should give the bottom of elements `20px` of `margin` .
2018-09-30 22:01:58 +00:00
2020-11-27 18:02:05 +00:00
```js
assert($('.blue-box').css('margin-bottom') === '20px');
```

Your `blue-box` class should give the left of elements `40px` of `margin` .
```js
assert($('.blue-box').css('margin-left') === '40px');
```
You should use the clockwise notation to set the margin of `blue-box` class.
```js
assert(
/\.blue-box\s*{[\s\S]*margin[\s]*:\s*\d+px\s+\d+px\s+\d+px\s+\d+px(;\s*[^}]+\s*}|;?\s*})/.test(
__helpers.removeCssComments($('style').text())
)
);
```
