Arithmetic, comparison and logical
Operators are short symbols that act on one or more values. CSS groups them into arithmetic (+ - * / %), comparison (== != < > <= >=) and logical (AND OR NOT). Combine them to build the conditions that drive your program.
.card {
width: calc(100% - 2rem);
font-size: clamp(1rem, 2vw, 1.5rem);
}Precedence
Just like in maths, * binds tighter than +, so 2 + 3 * 4 is 14, not 20. When in doubt add parentheses — they cost nothing at runtime and make intent clear to anyone reading the code later.
Equality vs assignment
One of the most common beginner bugs is writing = (assignment) when you meant == (comparison). Read your conditions out loud — "if total equals one hundred" — to catch this kind of typo.
