The element + element selector in CSS is used to style every element that is placed immediately after (not inside) the first specified element.

Syntax:

element + element {
    //CSS Property

Example 1: In the below program the “p + p” selector selects and styles every pair of consecutive paragraph elements. If there are more than 2 consecutive p elements then it styles the last two.




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            CSS | element+element Selector
        </title>
        <style>
            p + p {
                color:white;
                background: green;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body style = "text-align: center;">
        <h1 style = "color:green;">
            GeeksforGeeks
        </h1>
        <h2>

          <p>This is the forth paragraph</p>
