Why should I use CSS preprocessors?

CSS preprocessors like SASS and LESS enhance CSS with features like variables, nesting, and mixins, making stylesheets more maintainable.

Can you explain how variables work in SASS?

In SASS, variables are defined using a dollar sign, like $primary-color: blue;, and can be reused throughout your styles.

What are mixins and how do they help?

Mixins allow you to create reusable chunks of CSS. You can define styles once and include them wherever needed, reducing redundancy.

Are there any downsides to using preprocessors?

While they offer many benefits, preprocessors add a compilation step and can introduce complexity if not managed properly.
