Little trouble with Sass Code Challenge at end of Stage 01:

The instructions are: "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."

**So here's what I wrote:**

p {
    a {
    color: red;
       .footer & {
        color: purple;
    }
  }

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

*I also tried this:**

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

}

But I guess there's something I'm just not getting either in the instruction or the concept of post-selector ampersands.

Any help?

thanks!

I got it for you mate! You did it right, you just need to do:

div.footer &
``` instead
