27. How does the inheritance system work in SCSS and what are its benefits?

In SCSS, you can inherit properties from one selector to another using extensions (@extend). This allows avoiding code duplication and maintaining style consistency.

Example of inheritance in SCSS:

%message-shared {
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 10px;
  color: #333;
}

.message {
  @extend %message-shared;
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

.error {
  @extend %message-shared;
  background-color: #fdd;
  border-color: #f00;
}

Benefits:

• Reduction of code redundancy: Less code to write and maintain.
• Style consistency: Styling is more consistent and easier to manage.
