Why dose have to put "nav a, nav a" twice to make it stay white when "visited"?

I am confused why we have to put "nav a, nav a" twice to make it stay white in the code "nav a. nav a.visited"?

If you'd just write 'nav a.visited' you would only style the links you visited, and not the links in general. So if you haven't visited a link yet, the styling doesn't apply to it and you'll get the default styling. By selecting "nav a, nav a.visited" you select a) Links in the <nav> section in general and b) Links in the <nav> section that were already visited.
