Description

The opposite of flex-shrink is the flex-grow property. Recall that flex-shrink controls the size of the items when the container shrinks. The flex-grow property controls the size of items when the parent container expands. Using a similar example from the last challenge, if one item has a flex-grow value of 1 and the other has a flex-grow value of 3, the one with the value of 3 will grow three times as much as the other.

Instructions

Add the CSS property flex-grow to both #box-1 and #box-2. Give #box-1 a value of 1 and #box-2 a value of 2.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The <code>#box-1</code> element should have the <code>flex-grow</code> property set to a value of 1.
    testString: assert($('#box-1').css('flex-grow') == '1', 'The <code>#box-1</code> element should have the <code>flex-grow</code> property set to a value of 1.');
  - text: The <code>#box-2</code> element should have the <code>flex-grow</code> property set to a value of 2.
    testString: assert($('#box-2').css('flex-grow') == '2', 'The <code>#box-2</code> element should have the <code>flex-grow</code> property set to a value of 2.');
