CSS display is used to control the layout of the element. It specifies how the element is displayed.
The CSS clear property specifies what elements can float beside the cleared element and on which side.
Every element on the webpage is a rectangular box and the CSS property defines the behavior of that rectangular box.
The display property can take the following values −
display: inline :- The inline element takes the required width only. It doesn't force the line break so the flow of text doesn't break in inline
display: inline-block :- The CSS display inline-block element is very similar to inline element but the difference is it allows to set a width and height on the element..
display: block :- The CSS display block element takes as much as horizontal space as they can. Means the block element takes the full available width.
