What are CSS selectors and how do I use them?

CSS selectors are patterns used to select elements on a web page for styling. They allow you to apply styles to specific elements based on their type, class, id, attributes, and more.

Can you give me examples of different types of CSS selectors?

Sure! Here are a few types of CSS selectors:

1. Type Selector: div selects all <div> elements.
2. Class Selector: .className selects all elements with the class 'className'.
3. ID Selector: #idName selects the element with the ID 'idName'.
4. Attribute Selector: [type='text'] selects all input elements with type 'text'.

How do I combine selectors?

You can combine selectors by separating them with commas for grouping or chaining them together. For example, div.className selects all <div> elements with the class 'className', while div, p selects all <div> and <p> elements.

What about pseudo-classes?

Pseudo-classes are used to define a special state of an element. For example, :hover applies styles when the user hovers over an element, and :nth-child(n) selects the nth child of a parent element.
