What is SCSS and why is it used in web development?

The question is about scss

Answer

SCSS, or Sassy CSS, is a preprocessor scripting language that extends CSS with advanced features like variables, nested rules, and mixins. It is used in web development to make stylesheets more efficient and easier to maintain. By using SCSS, developers can write cleaner and more organized code, which is especially beneficial for large projects with complex styles. SCSS compiles into standard CSS, offering all the benefits of CSS while providing additional functionality, making it a popular choice for modern web development.
