Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow you to flexibly write rules that apply to a single HTML element or to multiple HTML elements. As well as applying a rule by class or identifier, you can create rules that set the same style properties on multiple HTML elements or on elements that have a specific parent HTML element.

Learning how to select HTML elements in different ways will help you write CSS more efficiently.
