Is this an error?

When I had the following in my code, I was getting the answer "wrong":

/* Write your SCSS code below. */ p { a { color: red; &:hover { opacity: 0.5; } }

a { color: blue; } }

Why did I need to add another hover declaration inside the > a selector to make it "pass"? Wouldn't just setting it on all the a tags make it work across all? Or is the > a overriding the :hover state already defined?

Hi Kamila, the code for the opacity should be putted inside the direct children selector in order to pass.

p { 
    a { color: red;  
    } 
    > a { 
        color: blue;
        &:hover { 
            opacity: 0.5; 
        }
    } 
}
