# --description--

The `calc()` function is a CSS function that allows you to calculate a value based on other values. For example, you can use it to calculate the width of the viewport minus the margin of an element:

```css
.example {
  margin: 10px;
  width: calc(100% - 20px);
}
```

Give `#years` a `margin` of `0 -2px`, and a `padding` set to `0.5rem calc(1.25rem + 2px) 0.5rem 0`.

# --hints--

Your `#years` selector should have a `margin` property set to `0 -2px`.

```js
assert(new __helpers.CSSHelp(document).getStyle('#years')?.getPropertyValue('margin') === '0px -2px');
```

Your `#years` selector should have a `padding` property set to `0.5rem calc(1.25rem + 2px) 0.5rem 0`.

```js
const padding = new __helpers.CSSHelp(document).getStyle('#years')?.getPropertyValue('padding');
assert(['0.5rem calc(1.25rem + 2px) 0.5rem 0px', '0.5rem calc(2px + 1.25rem) 0.5rem 0px'].includes(padding));
```
