CSS Grouped Selectors

Grouped Selectors in CSS are like multitasking for your styles. Instead of repeating the same styles for different elements, you can group them together and apply styles to multiple elements in one go. This not only saves time but also keeps your code cleaner and more organized.

1. How to Use Grouped Selectors

To use grouped selectors, simply separate the selectors with a comma. This tells CSS that the styles should apply to all the elements in the group. Here's an example:

/* Apply styles to h1 and h2 elements */
h1, h2 {
  color: #333;
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}

In this case, both the h1 and h2elements will have the same color and font-family styles.

2. Examples of Grouped Selectors in Action

Here are some practical examples:

/* Example 1: Style multiple elements with the same background */
div, p, span {
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

/* Example 2: Add a common margin to headings */
h1, h2, h3 {
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

In the examples above, different elements are grouped together and share the same styles.

3. Things to Keep in Mind

While grouped selectors are great for efficiency, always consider the specific needs of your design. Overusing them can lead to unintended styles, especially if you're working with nested elements or using other more specific selectors.
