What are CSS animation timing functions?

CSS animation timing functions control the speed of an animation over its duration. They define how the intermediate keyframes are calculated.

Can you explain the different types of timing functions?

Sure! The main types are 'linear', 'ease', 'ease-in', 'ease-out', and 'ease-in-out'. Each affects the animation's acceleration differently.

What does 'ease-in' do specifically?

'Ease-in' starts the animation slowly and then speeds up towards the end, creating a smooth acceleration effect.

How do I apply a timing function in my CSS?

You can apply it using the 'animation-timing-function' property in your CSS, like this: animation-timing-function: ease-in;.
