# --description--

So far in the grids you have created, the columns have all been tight up against each other. Sometimes you want a gap in between the columns. To add a gap between the columns, use the `grid-column-gap` property like this:

```css
grid-column-gap: 10px;
```

This creates 10px of empty space between all of our columns.

# --instructions--

Give the columns in the grid a `20px` gap.

# --hints--

`container` class should have a `grid-column-gap` property that has the value of `20px`.

```js
assert(
  code.match(
    /.container\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-column-gap\s*?:\s*?20px\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi
  )
);
```

<div class="container">
