Day #3 of learning and posting

Today I learned about transitions and transform properties;

In CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), the transition and transform properties are used to control the behavior of elements when it comes to animations and transformations. They are often used together to create smooth and visually appealing effects on web pages. Here's an overview of both properties:

1. transition Property:

• The transition property is used to specify how CSS property changes should be animated over time.
• It allows you to define the transition effect for one or more CSS properties when they change values. These changes can be due to various events, such as hover, click, or state changes (e.g., when a button is pressed).
• The transition property takes the following syntax:

transition: property duration timing-function delay;        

• property: Specifies the CSS property you want to apply the transition to (e.g., color, width, opacity, etc.).
• duration: Specifies the duration of the transition effect in seconds (e.g., 0.5s for half a second).
• timing-function: Defines the timing function, which determines the acceleration and deceleration of the animation (e.g., ease, linear, ease-in, ease-out, etc.).
• delay: Optionally, you can set a delay before the transition begins (e.g., 0.2s).Example:

/* Apply a transition to the color property over 0.5 seconds with ease-in-out timing */
transition: color 0.5s ease-in-out;        

2. transform Property:

• The transform property is used to apply various 2D and 3D transformations to an element. It allows you to scale, rotate, translate, and skew elements without affecting the layout of the document.
• It can be used to create visually appealing effects like animations and transitions.
• The transform property can take multiple transform functions separated by spaces, and they will be applied in the order they appear.
• Common transform functions include translate(), rotate(), scale(), skew(), and matrix(), among others.
• Example:

/* Apply a rotation and a scaling transformation */
transform: rotate(45deg) scale(1.5);
