I need help with this challenge

The floats inside the <footer> caused its height to collapse. Give the <footer> element the class that will clear all floats inside it.

Im not sure if I have the right code

style.css

.clearfix::after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}
.footer-nav {
float: left;
}
.logo {
float: right;
}
.footer-nav li {
float: left;
}
<footer class="clearfix">

The 3rd step of the challenge says "Give the <footer> element the class that will clear all floats inside it." This is a change that has to be made in index.html, not in style.css:

<footer class="clearfix">

Thanks a lot I didn't realize the challenge was asking for a change in the index.html
