4,050 Pointsquestion about the class
Hey all, this video got me a little confused. In the video he used <div class="primary-content col">.
The question revolves around the class. Why 2 class into one? He used .col for a few things then used primary-content for a few others.
Why not just use one class name to achieve the same objective. Would this fall into the DRY method talked about in other videos? Or am I missing something?
Really confused as to why he is using 2 different selectors in one grouping.
Thanks for the replies

I think part of your post is missing in the beginning.
The two columns had some styles that were shared and some other styles that were unique to each column.
So by giving both columns a class of "col" you can use that one to style what is common to both. Then use "primary-content" to style what is unique about the primary column and use "secondary-content" to style what is unique about the secondary column. With a single class name for each there would be some repetition.
Does that answer your question?
