How to change top and bottom margin to 0 and left and right margins to 10px?

In one of the code challenges related to CSS it has been asked to right the rule that changes the top and bottom margin to 0 and left and right margins to 10px wide. Is there anything wrong with this rule ?

nav li{ margin : 0 10px; }

Apply this rule to unordered list:

nav ul{ margin : 0 10px; }

Remember when setting margins it works in a clockwise orientation, meaning value 1 is top value 2 is right 3 is bottom and 4 left. Applying this concept you could potentially achieve your goal by setting

nav ul { margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px; }

Good luck to you!

Thanks Sergey and Tim it worked I realized I overlooked the question, it was unordered list I was supposed to write the rule for instead of ordered list.
