Targeting a specific element in html

<section>

    <nav class="navLinks">
        <li> <a href= "home.html" class= "selected">|Home|  </a> </li> 
        <li><a href= "about.html" > |About| </a> </li>
        <li><a href= "services.html"> |Services| </a> </li> 
        <li><a href= "location.html"> |Location| </a> </li> 
        <li><a href= "contact.html"> |Contact| </a> </li> 
    </nav>

</section>

This is the portion of code i have from my html file. I'm wanting target the fourth element, "location.html"; however, not sure how to do so. I think i have to use nth-child, but don't know how to implement it. Help please!!!! :)

You can also add a class or id to the item you wish to target.

Example:

    <nav class="navLinks">
        <li> <a href="home.html" class="selected">|Home|  </a> </li> 
        <li><a href="about.html" > |About| </a> </li>
        <li><a href="services.html"> |Services| </a> </li> 
        <li class="location"><a href="location.html"> |Location| </a> </li> 
        <li><a href="contact.html"> |Contact| </a> </li> 
    </nav>

</section>

.location {
/* Add CSS styling here*/
}
