## Description
<section id='description'>
The next positioning tool does not actually use <code>position</code>, but sets the <code>float</code> property of an element. Floating elements are removed from the normal flow of a document and pushed to either the <code>left</code> or <code>right</code> of their containing parent element. It's commonly used with the <code>width</code> property to specify how much horizontal space the floated element requires.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
The given markup would work well as a two-column layout, with the <code>section</code> and <code>aside</code> elements next to each other. Give the <code>#left</code> item a <code>float</code> of <code>left</code> and the <code>#right</code> item a <code>float</code> of <code>right</code>.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: The element with id <code>left</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>left</code>.
testString: 'assert($(''#left'').css(''float'') == ''left'', ''The element with id <code>left</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>left</code>.'');'
- text: The element with id <code>right</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>right</code>.
testString: 'assert($(''#right'').css(''float'') == ''right'', ''The element with id <code>right</code> should have a <code>float</code> value of <code>right</code>.'');'
```
