I tried this so far and if I take the element id is working but if I take the class name is not working

I tried this so far and if I take the element id is working but if I take the class name is not working...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p id="p1" class="theClass">Hello World!</p>
<p id="p2">Hello World!</p>

<script>

document.getElementById("p2").style.color = "blue";
document.getElementsByClassName("theClass").style.color = "blue";

document.getElementById("p2").style.fontSize = "larger";
</script>

<p>The paragraph above was changed by a script.</p>

</body>
</html>

getElementsByClassName returns an HTMLCollection, not an element. If you want to apply a style to an element in the collection, select that element first:

document.getElementsByClassName("theClass")[0].style.color = "blue";
<p id="p1" class="theClass">Hello World!</p>

But if you're going to select a single element, it would be much better to use querySelector:

document.querySelector('.theClass').style.color = "blue";
<p id="p1" class="theClass">Hello World!</p>

Even if you did need to apply a style (or do something) to multiple elements with a class name in mon, the getElementsBy* methods return HTMLCollections, which can be difficult to work with. Consider using querySelectorAll instead, which returns a static NodeList - unlike an HTMLCollection, it can be iterated over directly, it won't change while it's being iterated over, and it's much more flexible.

document.querySelectorAll('.theClass')
  .forEach(p => p.style.color = "blue");
<p class="theClass">Hello World!</p>
<p class="theClass">Hello World!</p>
<p class="theClass">Hello World!</p>

document.getElementsByClassName give you the list of the nodes. And there is no style property on the list. You'll have to iterate through the list to apply styles.

If there is just on div there you can use

document.getElementsByClassName("theClass")[0].style.color = "red" 

PS. You should always check your browser's console when something is not working. You'll be seeing an error like can not ... .style of ...

document.getElementById("p2").style.color = "blue";
document.getElementsByClassName("theClass")[0].style.color = "blue";

document.getElementById("p2").style.fontSize = "larger";

var els = document.getElementsByClassName('theClass1');

for(var i=0; i< els.length; i++){
   els[i].style.color = "green"

}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p id="p1" class="theClass">Hello World!</p>
<p id="p2">Hello World!</p>

<p id="p12" class="theClass1">Hello World 1!</p>
<p id="p14" class="theClass1">Hello World 2!</p>
<p id="p13" class="theClass1">Hello World 3!</p>

<p>The paragraph above was changed by a script.</p>

</body>
</html>

Try this:

document.getElementsByClassName("theClass")[0].style.color = "blue";
