here's a comparison of CSS and SCSS (Sass):
| Aspect | CSS | SCSS (Sass) |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Plain text with selectors and properties | Extension of CSS with enhanced syntax |
| Variables | Not supported | Supported using $ prefix |
| Nesting | Limited support with descendant selectors | Fully supported with nesting |
| Mixins | Not supported | Supported with @mixin directive |
| Functions | Not supported | Supported with built-in and custom functions |
| Inheritance | Not supported | Supported with @extend directive |
| Importing | Supported with @import
|
Supported with @import
|
| Comments | Supported with /* */
|
Supported with // and /* */
|
| Math operations | Limited support for basic operations | Fully supported with arithmetic operators |
| Code readability | May require repetitive code | Improved readability with variables, nesting, and mixins |
| File extension | .css | .scss or .sass |
Please note that SCSS (Sass) is a superset of CSS, meaning you can write regular CSS within an SCSS file, so it's more versatile and developer-friendly. It allows you to use the features listed above to make your stylesheets more organized and maintainable.
