Hi there!

If you want to margin something to center. You need to specify right and left margin auto. other wise you can give it any value as per your requirement.

Hello there, @wqfpeterallen1230906 welcome to fcc forum.

Answer to your question: Why do you need to use “auto”

By setting the value of “margin-right: to auto” you’re telling the browser to calculate the space needed to center the section and apply that much margin automatically everywhere.

Note: You need to use four margin property, one width property and a max-width property inside section element.

I hope my reply will help you, let me know thanks.
