The individual selectors are used to select unique elements and there I'd.

<div>

The div tag separately displays the block of code and its text is displayed on the page from the left. It is used as a container and it has attributes like class or id

 <div>
                <li>Be-unique</li>

                    <li>highlight my skills</li>
                    <li>highlight my creativity</li>
                </ul>
            </div>

<span>

The span tag is an inline container. this tag is used to mark up a part of the text.

<span style="color: #5A20CB">blue</span>

<p>

The paragraph snippet is used to set background color to the text.

p {

background-color: #CAD5E2;

}

}

background-color: #E03b8b;

color: #ffffff;

}

example:

span, li {

background-color: burlywood;

}

The inside element selector has two different types of elements.

same kind of elements

different types of elements.

example:

whenever we use div ul and li tags, the div tag can look different compared with ul and li tags

div ul li {

background-color: blue;

}

/* Direct child*/

The combinator is just an immediate direct child of the first element.

Example:

div > li {

background-color: red;

}

/* Sibling ~ or + */

The sibling is the immediate child of this elder rest element.

.sibling + p {

background-color: # pink;

}

/* Before selector */

This kind of selector is targeting your label attributes. here, the hover attribute should be used before the double semicolon [::]

.imp-label:hover::before{

content: ' ' ;

display: inline-flex;

width: 30px;

height: 20px;

border-radius: 10px;

background-color: orange-red;

}

/* After selector */

It is also the same type of before selector. Here, we use after selector instead before selector.

.imp-label:hover::after{

content: ' ' ;

display: inline-flex;

width: 30px;

height: 20px;

border-radius: 10px;

background-color: orange-red;
