--description--

This section of the curriculum focuses on Applied Visual Design. The first group of challenges build on the given card layout to show a number of core principles.

Text is often a large part of web content. CSS has several options for how to align it with the text-align property.

text-align: justify; spaces the text so that each line has equal width.

text-align: center; centers the text

text-align: right; right-aligns the text

And text-align: left; (the default) left-aligns the text.

--instructions--

Align the h4 tag's text, which says "Google", to the center. Then justify the paragraph tag which contains information about how Google was founded.

--hints--

Your code should use the text-align property on the h4 tag to set it to center.

assert($('h4').css('text-align') == 'center');

Your code should use the text-align property on the p tag to set it to justify.

assert($('p').css('text-align') == 'justify');
