If you don’t know how do do something in programming, do this: 1. learn it - Use some kind of course online to learn a topic. If you still don’t know⬇️ 2. Practice it- practice with challenges, code coach and codes. If you still don’t know⬇️ 3.Search it - Use Google or SoloLearn search bar before asking question. If you still don’t know⬇️ 4.Ask - Ask the questions on SoloLearn, Quora, or StackOverflow. If you still don’t know⬇️ 5. Sleep- just clear your mind and try these steps again

div is a block element that helps you to divide your page into sections so you can style them differently , You can do something like this <p><span >Hello</span><span>World</span><p> Now you can format each world seperately using some css span:nth-child(1){ } span: nth-child(2){ } The above selectors will select first span and second span of every parent element , Or you can give id to different span if you don't want the above behavior , But unless you describe what you are trying to do I can't help much

<span> is a common "universal" inline container. <div> is the same but for block. These tags are used to separate parts of content from others.
