In the lesson it says:

If the top and bottom sides can be equal, and the left and right sides can be equal, you can specify 2 values. The first value sets the margin-top and margin-bottom values (20px), and the second value sets the margin-left and margin-right values (10px).

But on the test and youtube tutorial https://youtu.be/V8Kwlxh-Uf0?si=BDqESC_2ZXh7Tfa_&t=385
the first value after margins is vertical and second value is horizontal.

Which one is correct?
