Hello, Just wondering why should i use 2 classes for same element since i can use 1 class for it and contain it with all the changes needed for the element.

Thanks in advance

If both elements need the same CSS rules, than you can assiign both of them the same class.

So that means if i'm editing one element it doesn't require that i create multiple classes for same element.
