Tell us what’s happening:

Hi all,

New to the forum and complete beginner in web dev.
Started because im a investor/trader in crypto and was looking at other ways to make money in the digital world and becoming a web3 dev would be one of them… Trust me I know it would be a long way before I get there, but have time and no rush.

Now my question here is the get the daily value to the right why dont you just use

justify-content: right;

why does it need to be flex-end;

they both do the same thing, no ?

thanks…

it’s a thing that when coding you can get the same result in multiple ways, you can’t use all of them at the same time, so you use only one of them

3

i’m a beginner so this all new to me.
So to be correct…

justify-content: right;

is the same as

justify: flex-end;

either one you use it will have the same outcome and wont mess up the code ?

Hi there!
No. justify-content: right is not a valid css property value. The correct css property value is justify-content: flex-end it will align items in the flex container to the right.

5

according to MDN web docs justify-content: right; is a valid property value.

/* Positional alignment */
justify-content: center;
justify-content: start;
justify-content: end;
justify-content: flex-start;
justify-content: flex-end;
justify-content: left;
justify-content: right;

Still dont understand why make 2 values that do the same thing?
Like I said before im completely new at this so just trying to wrap my head around it.

the end result is the same, but the concept used is different
flex-end is based on flex direction, right is just right
