Margin values can have 1, 2, 3, or 4 values depending on how you are formatting them. In the short hand form margin: ...
When use use 1 value margin: 20px; it will apply that to all four sides.
When you use 2 values margin: 20px 40px; it will apply 20px to Top and Bottom & 40px to Left and Right
When you use 3 values margin: 20px 30px 40px; It will 20px to Top 30px to Left and Right & 40px to Bottom.
When you use 4 values, the order goes Top Right Bottom Left.
Hope this clears it up for you. Keep Coding! :)
