# --description--

Simply creating a grid element doesn't get you very far. You need to define the structure of the grid as well. To add some columns to the grid, use the `grid-template-columns` property on a grid container as demonstrated below:

```css
.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 50px 50px;
}
```

This will give your grid two columns that are each 50px wide. The number of parameters given to the `grid-template-columns` property indicates the number of columns in the grid, and the value of each parameter indicates the width of each column.

# --instructions--

Give the grid container three columns that are each `100px` wide.

# --hints--

`container` class should have a `grid-template-columns` property with three units of `100px`.

```js
assert(
  code.match(
    /.container\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-columns\s*?:\s*?100px\s*?100px\s*?100px\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi
  )
);
```
