What is float and why is it used?

Short answer: float moves elements to the left or right — allowing text and inline elements to wrap around.

Example code

img { float: right; margin: 10px; } Key Takeaway: Used for text wrapping, but Flexbox/Grid is better for layout today.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest’s browser cart uses modern JavaScript: fetch APIs with async/await, modules, and clear error handling.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
