What is SASS?

Sass can be expanded as syntactically awesome style sheets. Sass is a preprocessor scripting language that is interpreted or compiled into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). It has been improvised with SassScript, a simple scripting language used in Sass files.

Sass consists of two syntaxes:

• The original syntax, called "the indented syntax," uses a syntax similar to Haml. It uses indentation to separate code blocks and newline characters to separate rules.
• The latest syntax called "SCSS" (Sassy CSS) uses block formatting similar to CSS. It uses braces to denote code blocks and semicolons to separate rules within a block. The indented syntax and SCSS files are identified by extensions .sass and .scss, respectively.

Sass adds object-oriented features to CSS. Upon interpreting a SassSCript, we obtain blocks of CSS rules corresponding to the selectors defined by the Sass file and subsequently a CSS file.

SASS Stands for Systematically Awesome Stylish Sheets and is basically an extension of CSS. People looking to develop style sheets quickly can go for SASS. It is also compatible with every version of CSS available there. With SASS you can use in your script inline imports, nested rules and variables.

The full form of SASS is the syntactically awesome style sheet. It is an extension of CSS. but it exactly doesn't work like CSS, SASS has features like inline imports, nested rules, mixins built-in functions to manipulate color and other values.

SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) is a style sheet language designed by Hampton Catlin and developed by Natalie Weizenbaum to reduce repetition in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and save time. And also, it is a pre-processor scripting language that can be interpreted or compiled into CSS. SAAS is a more stable and powerful version of CSS which describes the style of any document structurally. It includes new features like variables, nested rules, mixins, inline imports, built-in functions which help in manipulation of color and other values that are compatible with CSS. In SAAS, variable declarations begin with a $ sign and assignments are done using colon (:) and supports logical nesting.
