# --description--

Add the property `border` with the value `1px solid #000` to the `.box` selector. The `border` property is used to create a visible outline around an element. It can be customized in terms of `border-width`, `border-style`, and `border-color`. 

In this case ,`1px` is `border-width`, which defines the thickness of the border. `solid` is `border-style` and sets the appearance of the border (solid, dashed, dotted and so on). And `#000` is `border-color`, which defines the color of the border.

# --hints--

Your `.box` selector should have the property `border` with the value `1px solid #000`.

```js
assert.equal(new __helpers.CSSHelp(document).getStyle('.box')?.getPropVal('border'), '1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)');
```
