CSS .class Selector
Description
The CSS class selector is used to select HTML elements with a specific class attribute. To select elements with a specific class, write a period (.) character, followed by the class name.
For example, the following CSS selector will select all div elements with the class my-class:
.my-class {
/* CSS styles here */
}
You can also use the class selector to select multiple HTML elements of different types. For example, the following CSS selector will select all div and p elements with the class my-class:
.my-class div, .my-class p {
/* CSS styles here */
}
Class selectors are very useful for styling your web pages, as they allow you to reuse CSS styles for multiple elements. This can save you a lot of time and effort, and make your code more maintainable.
Syntax

css declarations;
}

color: #3366ff;
