|  | ## Class
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | The CSS “class” selector is used to apply the same styling to multiple elements on the page. A great way to think of this would be like the blueprint of a car or building. The blueprint will allow you to build several cars or several buildings in the same manner after designing the actual layout once. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Use Cases
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Unlike the CSS “ID” class names are not unique. Therefore, it is fine for you to use a “class” several times if you would like for these elements to have the same styling applied. In fact, this would be a great time for you to use a “class.” If you would like for three “div” elements in your HTML to have a blue background you could use a class once in your CSS as seen in the example below. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | <html> | ||
|  | <style> | ||
|  |   .blueBg { | ||
|  |     background-color: blue; | ||
|  |   } | ||
|  | </style> | ||
|  |   <body> | ||
|  |     <div class="blueBg"></div> | ||
|  |     <div class="blueBg"></div> | ||
|  |     <div class="blueBg"></div> | ||
|  |   </body> | ||
|  | </html> | ||
|  | ``` | ||
