What are some examples of the CSS box model?

The CSS box model describes the rectangular boxes generated for elements in the document tree. It consists of margins, borders, padding, and the actual content. Would you like to see specific examples?

Yes, please provide examples of how to use padding and margins.

Sure! For example, if you have a div with a width of 300px and you add 20px of padding, the total width will be 340px (300px + 20px left + 20px right). Similarly, if you add a margin of 10px, the total width will be 360px.

Can you show me a code snippet for that?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

.box {
  width: 300px;
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 10px;
  border: 1px solid black;
}

This will create a box with padding and margin applied.

What about the border? How does it fit into the box model?

The border sits between the padding and the margin. In our example, the border adds to the overall size of the box. If you add a 5px border, the total width would be 370px (300px + 20px padding + 5px border + 10px margin).
