CSS Class Selector

The CSS .class selector is used to select all elements that belong to a specific class attribute. By using the period (.) character followed by the class name, you can apply CSS properties to all elements with that class.

Syntax: 

.class {
// CSS property
}

Example 1: This example demonstrates the class Selector for the specific HTML element.

HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
    .Beginner {
        color: green;
    }
    
    .gfg {
        background-color: yellow;
        font-style: italic;
        color: green;
    }
    </style>
</head>

<body style="text-align:center">
    <h1 class="Beginner">
            w3wiki

    <h2>.class Selector</h2>
    <div class="gfg">
