SCSS Amp Selector

I'm having trouble with this code challenge on SCSS. I'm on my phone, so apologies for any shortcomings.

Here's my code so far.

/* Write your SCSS code below. */

p { a { color: red; }

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

The challenge reads: 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.

Remember, the & is a placeholder for what's nested.

So, your Scss will compile to this in CSS

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

When what you wanted to say was

p > a:hover {
  opacity: 0.5;
  }

So you'll need to adjust where your ampersand is in your Scss.
