Main-lofo & main-nav li - float left, CSS layout techniques

Hi - I am trying to do the code challenge Main-lofo & main-nav li - float left.

Here is my code, something is wrong and I am not sure what:

} .main-logo, .main-nav li { float: left; }

I would be grateful for any help.

Adrian.

.main-logo,
.main-nav li {
    float: left;

    float: left;
}
