 Here, selector is a string containing one or more CSS selectors separated by commas. This method will return the first element that is a descendant of the document that matches the specified selectors. \\
-Example:
+__Example 1__:
-<code js>
+<code javascript>
 <div id="container">
   <p class="text">Hello, World!</p>
 </div>
+</code>
+You could use **document.querySelector** to select the <p> element with the class "text":
+<code javascript>
+const textElement = document.querySelector('.text');
+console.log(textElement.textContent); // Outputs "Hello, World!"
 </code>
+Or you could select it by its parent's ID:
+<code javascript>
+const textElement = document.querySelector('#container .text');
+</code>
+**#container .text** selector targets elements with the class text that are descendants of the element with the ID container. It doesn't matter how deeply nested the .text elements are within #container; they will be selected.
+__Example 2__:
+<code javascript>
+<div id="container" class="text">Hello World!</div>
+</code>
+To select the text 'Hello World':
+<code javascript>
+const textElement = document.querySelector('#container.text');
+</code>
+**#container.text** selector targets an element that has both the ID container and the class text. It's looking for a single element that matches both of these criteria.
+<note important>
+If you want to select elements with the class text that are inside an element with the ID container, use **#container .text**. \\ If you want to select an element that has both the ID container and the class text, use **#container.text**.
