What is the best way to understand and decipher this CSS code?

As I delve into customizing the CSS of an Internet theme, I am faced with a syntax that is unfamiliar and puzzling to me. One example from the theme is as follows:

@media screen and(max-width: 768 px) {
    .wy-tray-container {
        bottom: auto;top: 0;width: 100 %
    }.wy-tray-container li {
        width: 100 %
    }
}

This kind of pattern recurs multiple times throughout the theme, with some instances spanning over 200-300 lines which has left me bewildered. Despite my efforts, I have not been able to locate any resources or documentation that explain this particular structure in detail. My understanding is that it seems to be an effort to add specificity to a selector, but beyond that, I am lost. In particular, everything following }.wy is a mystery to me. The true intention behind this type of CSS remains elusive.

It seems like the intended CSS code should appear as follows:

@media screen and(max-width: 768px) {
    .wy-tray-container {
        bottom: auto;
        top: 0;
        width: 100%;
    }
    .wy-tray-container li {
        width: 100%;
    }
}

To simplify, the minified version would look like this:

@media screen and(max-width:768px){.wy-tray-container{bottom:auto;top:0;width:100%}.wy-tray-container li{width:100%}}

The excess spaces in your code were causing issues with the CSS formatting. The syntax may seem unusual to you, like }.wy, but it is a standard way of indicating the end of one rule and the beginning of a new selector.
