What are the differences between SASS nesting and regular CSS?

SASS nesting allows you to write CSS in a nested structure, making it easier to manage styles for related elements. Regular CSS doesn't support this, so you have to write selectors separately.

Can you give me an example of SASS nesting?

Sure! In SASS, you can write:

.nav {
  ul {
    list-style: none;
  }
  li {
    display: inline;
  }
}

This compiles to:

.nav ul {
  list-style: none;
}
.nav li {
  display: inline;
}

What are the benefits of using SASS nesting?

The benefits include improved readability, easier maintenance, and the ability to scope styles more effectively, reducing the risk of conflicts.

Are there any downsides to using SASS nesting?

Yes, excessive nesting can lead to overly specific selectors, which may complicate your CSS and make it harder to override styles.
