## Description
<section id='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 <code>grid-template-columns</code> 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 <code>grid-template-columns</code> property indicates the number of columns in the grid, and the value of each parameter indicates the width of each column.

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Give the grid container three columns that are each <code>100px</code> wide.

  - text: <code>container</code> class should have a <code>grid-template-columns</code> property with three units of <code>100px</code>.
    testString: assert(code.match(/.container\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-columns\s*?:\s*?100px\s*?100px\s*?100px\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi));
