CSS code formatting refers to the practice of writing and organizing CSS code in a way that makes it readable, maintainable, and consistent. Well-formatted CSS helps developers work more efficiently, debug easier, and ensure that the code is scalable and understandable by others.

CSS Code Formatting Best Practices
Indentation: Use consistent indentation to make the hierarchy of rules clear. Typically, 2 or 4 spaces are used for indentation (avoid tabs).
Selector Organization: Group similar CSS selectors together to maintain logical structure.
Whitespace and Line Breaks: Use whitespace and line breaks to separate distinct blocks of code.
Consistent Naming Conventions: Use a consistent naming convention for classes, IDs, and variables (e.g., BEM, CamelCase, snake_case).
Property Order: Follow a consistent order for properties, such as alphabetical or grouped by related properties (e.g., position, box model, typography, etc.).
Avoiding !important: Try to avoid using !important in your styles unless absolutely necessary, as it can make debugging more difficult.
