💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using max() instead of min() will pick the larger value.

Using calc() or clamp() here won't directly pick the minimum.

The min() function chooses the smaller value between 300px and 50vw, so the width will never exceed 300px or 50% of the viewport width.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the font size to the maximum of 16px or 2vw.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using min() will pick the smaller value, which might make text too small.

Using clamp() or calc() won't directly pick the maximum.

The max() function picks the larger value between 16px and 2vw, ensuring the font size is never smaller than 16px.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using max() will pick the larger value, which can exceed limits.

Using height or width as a function name is invalid.

Using min() here ensures the height does not exceed 100px or 50vh, whichever is smaller.

hard

Fill both blanks to set padding to the minimum of 20px or 5vw and margin to the maximum of 10px or 2vw.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping min and max functions.

Using calc() or clamp() instead of min/max.

Padding uses min() to not exceed 20px or 5vw. Margin uses max() to be at least 10px or 2vw.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using min() or max() instead of clamp().

Swapping min and max values.

The clamp() function sets width to stay between 200px (minimum) and 80vw (maximum), preferring 50vw.
