Whats the value supposed to be?

it say float right which it is already and value would that be width?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img {
  float: right;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

      <h1>The verdict is in. CSS Layout is great!</h1>
      <p class="clear">I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
      <p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

It wants the text to wrap around its (the image) right side. So you would use float: left on the image instead of right.

I am stuck on this part as well. The img {float: left;} does not work either. Anyone got any other tips or suggestions? Thanks

Are you stuck on the first or second task?

if you're on the first, this should work:

img {
    float: left;
}

Oh I see. Without the id selector. Thanks for your help Jassim.
