Positioning Two Things Next To each other header [duplicate]

Question

I need to display the text saying NAME to the left and the list to the right next to each other.

body {
  font-family: nunito;
}

.mainmaneheader {
  float: left;
  position: relative;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

.purplebox {
  background-color: #ba68c8;
}

<header>
  <h1 class="mainnameheader">NAME</h1>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <a href="#">Home</a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="#">About</a>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="#">Contact</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</header>

*I am aware that this is a common issue but after looking around I cannot find the answer.

Answer 1

Try and give the header display: flex; and a height so you can set a line-height and align the text nice! After that, you can give the ul width: 100%; so it takes up the entire width as it is allowed! Then you can give the ul a text-align: right so it stays on the right!

    * {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
    }
    header {
        display: flex;
        height: 50px;
        line-height: 50px;
        padding: 20px;
        background-color: #fff1cc;
    }

    ul {
        padding: 0;
        margin: 0;
        width: 100%;
        text-align: right;
    }

    li {
        list-style: none;
        display: inline;
    }

<header>
    <h1 class="mainmaneheader">NAME</h1>
    <ul>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Home</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">About</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Contact</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</header>

Answer 2

I did changes in "header, ul and li".

body {
    font-family: nunito;
}

header{
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

ul {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}
li{
    list-style: none;
}

.purplebox {
    background-color: #ba68c8;
}
