Padding problem

Select the links inside the nav element and set their font weight to 800. Then, set padding on the top and bottom to 15 pixels. Set the padding on the left and right to 10 pixels. Help please. I did this : nav li { font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px; } What am i doing wrong!

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}
nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px;
  text-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  }
nav li {
display: inline-block;
}
nav li {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding:15px 10px;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

The challenge says, "Select the links..."; but you wrote "li", which is the tag designation for a list item.

It's also good practice to add new CSS code to the bottom of the file, to avoid any unintended precedence issues.
