HTML and CSS as a Car
- HTML is like the body of the car. It forms the physical structure, like the frame, engine, doors, and seats.
- CSS is the paint job, upholstery, and trim. It defines the car’s appearance, including the color, the materials used in the seats, and the type of wheels.
Example:
HTML (Car Parts):
<h1>My Car</h1>
<p>It has four wheels and an engine.</p>
CSS (Car Styling):
h1 {
color: navy;
font-size: 28px;
}
p {
color: gray;
font-style: italic;
}
Here:
- HTML builds the frame of the car, listing its essential parts.
- CSS decides what color the car is, and how fancy or sleek it looks.
