Advanced Nesting: Challenge 4 of 4.

This looks like one challenge too many for me. Advanced nesting in Sass.

The question is : "We want to add an exception for <a> tags that are are in the <div> with a class of .footer: those links should be purple. Use the post-selector ampersand to achieve this."

/* Write your SCSS code below. */

p {
  a {
    color: red;

  }
 > a {


    color: blue;
     &:hover {

    }  

  }


  .**footer& > a {
    color: purple;**
  }
}

Solved. I worked it out with the following

p {
    a {
    color: red;

     div.footer & {
        color: purple;
     } 
  }
 > a {
    color: blue;

     &:hover{
        opacity: 0.5;


    }

    }


}
