h1 {} /* This is the selector, which tells the browser the element you want to change. */
h1{
color: purple; /* This is a declaration. It tells the browser what he should do with your selector */
}
Now the code should work. And don't forget the ; after a declaration as you can see in my example.

Courses Plus Student 27,382 PointsI'm not sure about what are you asking, but your code is right to pass the challenge.
By the way, to create a h1 selector you need to open and close the tag like this:
<h1>This is code!</h1>
This tag has many levels, like:
<h1>This is code!</h1>
<h2>This is code level 2</h2>
<h3>This is code level 3</h3>
For more info, check the MDN- H1 Selector

On a side note, the code and documentation that you've linked above are referencing the HTML element. You can take a look at the challenge linked at the top of the question. The selector is a term used in CSS to select the element. You can take a look at the MDN CSS Selector documentation. Thanks for helping out in the Community!
