What is a container?

Question

Usually in somewhere in the beginning of the body, I see a <div class="container"> tag.
What exactly does "container do or mean?

Answer 1

Container is just an name , and it is used because , when you code , you think at the container as something that holds the whole code(or just an part , depending on what it is used for.)
"Container" is an class name, and it can be replaced with any other name.
