Is CSS a programming language? If you’ve ever wondered, read the following post and discover 🔎 why you might reconsider asking that question!
A programming language is a tool 🛠 that enables developers to instruct computers to perform tasks or calculations. Developers achieve this by writing code that tells the computer what to do step-by-step, much like giving commands to execute specific outcomes. It consists of rules that a computer can understand and execute. 😎
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is not considered a programming language. It is a style sheet language that defines how HTML elements should be displayed on a webpage and controls their layout, colors, fonts, and spacing.
Below, I have prepared an example to help you better understand what CSS does. Also, you’ll see an image displaying the HTML and CSS code snippet used in the example.
As we already said, CSS contains rules. Each rule typically includes a selector (which identifies the HTML element to style) and the declaration block {...} (which specifies the styling properties and their values). In our example, h1 is the selector, and background-color: pink; , color: indigo; and font-size: 25px; are declarations.
<h1>Enjoy working with CSS!!</h1>h1 {
background-color: pink;
color: indigo;
font-size: 25px;
}
