Hi,

Direct child selectors operate much like descendant selectors in that they also rely on an ancestral relationship to decide where to apply style. Descendant selectors, however, are more ambiguous because they apply to any descendant of an element; the descendant cab be a grandchild or a great-grandchild, or a great-great-grandchild, and so on. Direct child selectors apply only to immediate children of the element.

e.g.

p > span.inline-code {

font-family: monospace;

}
