Description

Adding display: flex to an element turns it into a flex container. This makes it possible to align any children of that element into rows or columns. You do this by adding the flex-direction property to the parent item and setting it to row or column. Creating a row will align the children horizontally, and creating a column will align the children vertically. Other options for flex-direction are row-reverse and column-reverse. Note: The default value for the flex-direction property is row.

Instructions

Add the CSS property flex-direction to the #box-container element, and give it a value of row-reverse.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The <code>#box-container</code> element should have a <code>flex-direction</code> property set to row-reverse.
    testString: assert($('#box-container').css('flex-direction') == 'row-reverse');
