p { > a { .footer & { isn't this right?

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

   > a {
    color:blue;

    &:hover {
      opacity:0.5;
    }

    .footer & {
      color:purple;
    }

   }
 }

Hi Rafael,

The challenge wants you to be more specific with the selector.

It's a div with a class of "footer"

Oh thanks ! But does it makes any difference? Unless there is another classe "footer" for something else than a div... correct?

In practice, most likely you would use .footer As you mentioned, the only case might be if there was another element with a class of footer then you might need the more specific selector div.footer to make sure you have the right one.
