What are CSS combinators?
CSS combinators specify the relationship between two or more selectors, allowing you to target elements based on their relative position within the HTML structure. This enables you to apply styles more effectively by selecting elements that are directly or indirectly related to one another.
Types of CSS Combinators:
Descendant Combinator (space): This selects all elements that are nested within a specified parent element, no matter how deep they are.Example: article p — This will select every tag inside an , regardless of how many levels of nesting there are.
Child Combinator (>): This targets only the direct child elements of a specified parent, ignoring deeper levels of nesting.Example: div > p — This selects only the elements that are immediate children of a .
Adjacent Sibling Combinator (+): This selects the first sibling element that immediately follows a specified element. Example: h2 + p — This selects the first element that directly follows an .
General Sibling Combinator (~): This targets all sibling elements that follow a specified element, regardless of how far apart they are.Example: h2 ~ p — This selects all elements that come after an , even if there are other elements in between.
