What is CSS scope?<\/h2><\/div>

Looking at the origin of the word \u201cscope,\u201d<\/p>\n

In ancient times, it referred to the target point aimed at when shooting an arrow or the range that could be seen with the eyes. Later, in modern English, its meaning expanded to include range, sphere of influence, and area of application.<\/p>\n

This meaning carries over into CSS and programming as well. In programming, scope refers to the range where code has an effect, where variables are visible, and where styles are applied.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if you understand the original meaning of the word \u201cscope\u201d as \u201cthe visible range\u201d or \u201cthe range of influence,\u201d it becomes much easier to understand the concept of scope in CSS and programming.<\/p>\n<\/div>
