Creating layouts with CSS using techniques such as floats, flexbox, and grid Mocktest

The flex-direction property in flexbox is used to control the direction in which flex items are placed within a flex container.

By default in flexbox, if the combined size of flex items is smaller than the size of the flex container, they stretch to fill the remaining space in the flex container, making them expand to occupy all available space.

Grid is best suited for creating a grid-like structure where elements are placed within rows and columns, allowing precise control over the layout compared to other techniques like flexbox and floats.

The justify-content property in flexbox is used to align flex items along the main axis of the flex container.

To center align items along both the main and cross axis in a flexbox layout, you use align-items: center; justify-content: center;.

The grid-gap property is used to control the space between grid items in a CSS Grid layout, allowing you to specify the gap between rows and columns.

The grid-template-columns property in CSS Grid is used to define the size of columns in a grid layout, allowing you to specify the width of each column within the grid.

Both Flexbox and Grid techniques allow for creating responsive layouts where items automatically adjust based on screen size, making them ideal choices for modern web design.

You can ensure that items in a flex container have equal space between them, regardless of their content size, by using justify-content: space-between;.

The grid-template-rows property in CSS Grid is used to define the size of rows within a grid layout, allowing you to specify the height of each row within the grid.
