Difference between <div>and <div class

Question

I haven't understood how to differentiate between two elements. Please help

Answer 1

A <div> element basically helps you group elements so that you can access all of them together from elsewhere like a JavaScript or CSS file.

But you can't identify which particular <div> you want to refer to unless you use a class or an id attribute.

For example:

HTML:
<div class='redText'>
<p>Sample</p>
<p>Text</p>
</div>

CSS:
.redText {
color: red;
}

Here, we have nested the two <p> elements in the <div> element and given it a class name. This class name is used in the CSS to address all elements within it.

Hope this heled :)

Answer 2

<div> is an element
class is an attribute.

The difference is that you did not assign the class attribute to the first.
You would assign a class attribute to a div in order to style it or use
Javascript to grab it.
