How do you add a class to an anchor if its parent has the class xyz

How do you add a class to an anchor if its parent has the class xyz

I got so far...

if($("a").parents(".xyz").length > 0) {
addClass(".xyz")
};

obviously this isn't working otherwise I wouldn't be here asking :)

Simply do 

$(".xyz a").addClass("xyz");

This will add the class xyz to all elements a having a parent of class xyx.

To be less ambiguous : if you want to add the class xyz to all elements a having a parent of class abc, use 

$(".abc a").addClass("xyz");

If you want to be sure that there is a direct parent child relation, use

$(".abc > a").addClass("xyz");
