SECTION 2
1.Explain Why CSS is added to HTML file? |
---|
CSS that is named as Cascading Style Sheet is added to an HTML file to control the visual presentation of the web page. It is added or linked to HTML file to enhance the presentation and layout of webpages. There are many reasons why CSS is essential to add in Html.
As we know Html is used to structure the content of web page while CSS is used to style the layout of the content .Without CSS the html structure page will be dull and boring to see for attracting colors and styles we add CSS.
CSS provides a wide range of styling options such as we can change colors, fonts, positioning that help us to create visually attractive and professional web pages. It helps to design the pages that html alone can not did.
WE can implement it across multiple web pages. Changes made in a single CSS file can be applied to all when linked.
CSS reduces the amount of code that is needed to style a web page. Instead of repeating style rules within each HTML element we can define them once in a CSS file and apply them across multiple elements
There are many styling options that are provided by CSS for visually appealing and perfect professional UI or UX design.
Example:
So this clearly shows the importance of CSS.
2. What's the difference between Id, Class and Elements? |
---|
In Html and CSS, ID ,Classes and Elements
are used to select and style specific parts of a web page. Here are the key differences between them....
An ID is unique and is used specifically for a single element to identify it uniquely. As we know, CSS is linked with the html file, so in CSS it is defined with the #
symbol, and the name is same the ID name we will put in html. In HTML, id is used to define the id with some styling on the specific element
- Example
- Output
- Use Case: IDs are commonly used for elements that appear only once on a page or for specific sections.
A class can be mostly used multiple times in the page once we defined it in our CSS. If we use the bootstrap or tailwind that we can utilize already defined classes for styling or reuse them same as that we can define our classes in style sheet and then use it where ever needed in the page. We mostly defined a class in CSS using .
then the name of the class. In html we simply write class and then its name it will be cleared through Example.
- Example

- Output
- Use Case: Classes are used to apply common styles to multiple elements button text blocks, or other.
An element refers to any HTML tag that build HTML document.Elements are selected in CSS by using the tag name directly such as p , a,h1 etc...
- Example
- Output
Use Case: Element are used to apply styles to a specific HTML tag.
Differences:
ID: Unique identifier for a single element (
#idName
).Class: Reusable identifier for multiple elements (
.className
).Element: Targets all instances of a specific HTML tag (
elementName
).

5. What are Bugs and why do we debug and why do we Debug our code? |
---|
What are Bugs?
Bugs are the errors or faults in a software program that cause to produce the incorrect and unexpected results. The bugs are raised from the mistakes in our coding. There can be errors of different types such as syntax errors, commas and if the code is not written in correct language or format.
Why Do We Debug?
Debugging is the term that actually means the process to fix the issues and ensure that our software works correctly and Also increase the correctness performance and user experience towards our code.
Why Do We Debug Our Code?
To correct issues that cause incorrect behavior.
To enhance overall code quality and functionality.
To make sure the software performs as intended.
To provide a smooth and error-free user experience.
To keep the software reliable and prevent crashes.
How proCess works...
It firstly Notice the issue and then recreate the bug and separate the the code that is causing the problem.Then understand why the bug occurs. correct the issue or give suggestions to correct.
Tools
- GDB, WinDbg ,VScode
These are some to debug or run our codes and also helps in increasing the code quality functionality and also fix errors for efficiency.
