It prevents doctype from being read as an element but as a declaration

This is read already but the thing doctype specifies document type right then why we are writing ! Symbol ?? It should also have some meaning right?

It fulfils the usefulness of the DOCTYPE HTML ,because doctype is declaration for any code
