I dont understand why there is a space between tag and name while naming the class.. Is tag doing something to name? b/c on tutorial .name is used not .tag name
<h1 class="tag name">Hello, Iām Chalin.</h1>

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 15,928 PointsHi Chalin, the class has two separate names: 'tag' and 'name' because each of those classes are used for specific styling in the CSS stylesheet. Developers do this often in order not to repeat similar CSS properties in different CSS rules when you can put all the styles in a single CSS rule with a particular class then add that class to the HTML elements you want to apply those styles on. At the end of the day it makes the stylesheet more concise and easier to read.
