Also, what is <span> tag?

Answer 1

Rakshit firstly you are editing html code in other language section

Answer 2

The div tag has an attribute "class" with a value "section". This means that a class section is defined in the css code style the div elements.

For the span tag, it is used as a general inline element for styling.... Nothing special in particular

Answer 3

You should start with html then css then js

Answer 4

Rakshit see this your code should be in html editor/window but its in something other.
