What does <span> tag help you do?

Question

Question regarding a tag

Answer 1

You may like to style some texts on a line, not the whole line or paragraph. Span is an inline element which let's you do something like this.

HTML :
Hello <span>World</span> !!

CSS :
span {color:red;}

Color of "World" will be red. Not the whole line.

Answer 2

Div VS Span:
Span doesn't force a new line.
Example:
⚡️Span⚡️:
<p> Long time ago <span> Apples </span> used to be nice. </p>
Result is: Long time ago Apples used to be nice.

⚡️Div⚡️:
<p> Long time ago <div> Apples </div> used to be nice.</p>
result is: Long time ago
Apples used to be nice.

The span didn't do anything to the text.
But the div started a new line after the word 'ago'.

So you can use Span for styling a specific text....

It might have other usages, but - that's all i know.

ill make u a code Div vs Span, if u need too
