# --description--

Turning an element into a grid only affects the behavior of its direct descendants. So by turning a direct descendant into a grid, you have a grid within a grid.

For example, by setting the `display` and `grid-template-columns` properties of the element with the `item3` class, you create a grid within your grid.

# --instructions--

Turn the element with the `item3` class into a grid with two columns with a width of `auto` and `1fr` using `display` and `grid-template-columns`.

# --hints--

`item3` class should have a `grid-template-columns` property with `auto` and `1fr` as values.

```js
assert(
  code.match(
    /.item3\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-columns\s*?:\s*?auto\s*?1fr\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi
  )
);
```

`item3` class should have a `display` property with the value of `grid`.

```js
assert(code.match(/.item3\s*?{[\s\S]*display\s*?:\s*?grid\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi));
```
