Challenge web design

What does this mean? Be sure to only clear the left side of the list items when the device is 480px wide or wider.

I am doing the media query challenge.

The clear CSS property specifies whether an element can be next to floating elements that precede it or must be moved down (cleared) below them. Check out this link for more info.

So when the challenge asks for you to clear the left side of every 4th list-item, you'd write this code:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
    #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
  }

  #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
  }
}

This is the simplified version, #gallery li:nth-child(4n+4) would also work.

Hope this helps! :)
