Why we use variables in CSS when we can use Classes for same purpose??

Question

I'm beginner in HTML/CSS so I've this doubt, kindly reply me.
Thank you :)

Answer 1

i get you. we can easily change a style property by changing its classes, which is very true. but what if there are a property that need to be change across different class and rules that you can toggle ? for example a color and background color in dark theme ?

you would need to write another set of same classes, with slight modification in each property of it. which can be pretty tedious on the larger css file.

variable give a solution to this problem, instead of rewriting every claass you'll only need to change the variable value and everything can be change

Answer 2

Actually we cant use classes for variables. they are extremely to other things.

Variables are containers that store some value
