Can someone check my code to change the top padding of a navigation list element?

I thought it would just be

nav li { padding: 15px 10px; }

Close but the challenge is looking to put padding on all the links in the nav tag. We can grab them by targeting the nav then all the a tags like so:

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

Lets me know if that helps.

You have to select the nav ul and the assign the margins. This is the answer:

nav ul{ margin:0 10px; }
