5a94fe3669fb03452672e45f	Reduce Repetition Using the repeat Function	0	https://scrimba.com/p/pByETK/cQvqyHR

Description

When you used grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows to define the structure of a grid, you entered a value for each row or column you created. Lets say you want a grid with 100 rows of the same height. It isn't very practical to insert 100 values individually. Fortunately, there's a better way - by using the repeat function to specify the number of times you want your column or row to be repeated, followed by a comma and the value you want to repeat. Here's an example that would create the 100 row grid, each row at 50px tall.

grid-template-rows: repeat(100, 50px);

You can also repeat multiple values with the repeat function and insert the function amongst other values when defining a grid structure. Here's what that looks like:

grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr 50px) 20px;

This translates to:

grid-template-columns: 1fr 50px 1fr 50px 20px;

Note
1fr 50px is repeated twice followed by 20px.

Instructions

Use repeat to remove repetition from the grid-template-columns property.

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>container</code> class should have a <code>grid-template-columns</code> property that is set to repeat 3 columns with the width of <code>1fr</code>.
    testString: assert(code.match(/.container\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-columns\s*?:\s*?repeat\s*?\(\s*?3\s*?,\s*?1fr\s*?\)\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi), '<code>container</code> class should have a <code>grid-template-columns</code> property that is set to repeat 3 columns with the width of <code>1fr</code>.');

  .item1{background:LightSkyBlue;}
  .item2{background:LightSalmon;}
  .item3{background:PaleTurquoise;}
  .item4{background:LightPink;}
  .item5{background:PaleGreen;}

  .container {

    min-height: 300px;
    width: 100%;
    background: LightGray;
    display: grid;
    /* change the code below this line */

    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;

    /* change the code above this line */
    grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
    grid-gap: 10px;
  }
</style>

<div class="container">
  <div class="item1">1</div>
  <div class="item2">2</div>
  <div class="item3">3</div>
  <div class="item4">4</div>
  <div class="item5">5</div>
</div>

Solution

var code = ".container {grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);}"
