Can the child combinator select a grandchild element? Why or why not?
Child Combinator and Grandchild Elements
The child combinator (>) cannot select a grandchild element because it only targets elements that are direct children of the specified parent. Elements nested deeper than the first level are not matched.
Key Points
Syntax:
A > B– selects only immediate childrenBof parentA.Grandchildren or deeper descendants require the descendant combinator (space) or additional selectors.
Using the child combinator ensures precise styling for direct children without affecting nested elements.
