It is not necessary to write p.classname .. but in case when u wanted that your class css only aaplied to paragraph element.. then u use that in a scenario when that class used by other elements also.. and it is good practice to use selector with elements because it makes dom searching faster..

if u use p.class .-it specifies wat element you are dealing with...and that that class is assigned to the specific element
