[class] vs [id]

As I understand it. In the video you taught 3 ways to handle an id attribute selector. 

1.  div[id="container"] { 
max-width: 500px;
margin: auto;   
}
2.  input[placeholder] { 
    background: #fdfee6; 
 }
3.   input[type="email"] { 
    background: #fdfee6; 
 }
// In the video you taught 1 way to handle the class attribute selector. My question is can the [class] be handled the same way as the [id] ? 
1.  [class="form-contact"] { 
padding: 20px 24px;
background:#f4f7f8;
}

Yes I believe can. :). Class is an attribute to an element in the same way as id is so you should be able to select elements the same way. :-)
