Is there any reason to use selector '*.class' over '.class'?

Question

I found it in code and don\'t know what\'s the point of using *.class selector over .class selector.

Answer 1

They are roughly equivalent - the asterisk only further specifies which objects of said class to apply the selection to.

 .class // Selects all of the specific class
*.class // Selects all of the specific class - where * can be a div, li, etc.
