Some people often ask questions like
IS HTML AND CSS A TYPE OF CODING LANGUAGE?
The answer to thier question is NO because HTML(hyper-text markup language)and CSS(cascading style sheet) does not contain any programming logic. The main reason why HTML and CSS is not a programming language is because they only determine the structure and the style of a web page you are building. They do not contain any instruction like other programming languages. This then draws us to where we are foccussing today.
HTML{hyper-text markup language}
