Python Development Techdegree Student 6,400 PointsOpacity wont set from Sass
Challenge task 3 of 4 We want to add a style to our previous Sass code declaring that on hover, all direct <a> children have an opacity of 0.5. Use the ampersand selector to achieve this, rather than repeating the > a direct child selector.
p{
a{color:red;}
>a{color:blue;}
&:hover {opacity: 0.5;}
Keeps returning to set the opacity to 0.5

15,645 PointsYou have closed the >a curly bracket before adding &:hover. When it compiles it's making p:hover not p > a:hover. There also doesn't appear to be a final closing bracket for p.
Your current code with (with the added final closing bracket) would compile to:
p a {
color: red;
}
p > a {
color: blue;
}
p:hover {
opacity: 0.5;
}
