## Description
<section id='description'>
This section uses alternating challenge styles to show how to use CSS to position elements in a flexible way. First, a challenge will explain theory, then a practical challenge using a simple tweet component will apply the flexbox concept.
Placing the CSS property <code>display: flex;</code> on an element allows you to use other flex properties to build a responsive page.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Add the CSS property <code>display</code> to <code>#box-container</code> and set its value to flex.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>#box-container</code> should have the <code>display</code> property set to a value of flex.
    testString: assert($('#box-container').css('display') == 'flex', '<code>#box-container</code> should have the <code>display</code> property set to a value of flex.');

```
