# --description--

Just as you can align an item horizontally, there's a way to align an item vertically as well. To do this, you use the `align-self` property on an item. This property accepts all of the same values as `justify-self` from the last challenge.

# --instructions--

Align the item with the class `item3` vertically at the `end`.

# --hints--

`item3` class should have a `align-self` property that has the value of `end`.

```js
assert(code.match(/.item3\s*?{[\s\S]*align-self\s*?:\s*?end\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi));
```

<style>
  .item1{background:LightSkyBlue;}
  .item2{background:LightSalmon;}

  .item3 {
    background: PaleTurquoise;
    /* Only change code below this line */

    
    /* Only change code above this line */
  }

  .item4{background:LightPink;}
  .item5{background:PaleGreen;}

  .container {
    font-size: 40px;

    grid-gap: 10px;
  }
</style>
