The !important rule in CSS is used to give a CSS property the highest priority. When a property is marked with !important, it overrides any other declarations for that property, regardless of specificity.
While !important can be useful to ensure that certain styles are applied, it should be used sparingly as it can make debugging and maintaining CSS more difficult.
/* General styles */
.default-style {
color: black;
}
/* Styles with !important */
.important-style {
color: red !important;
}
/* Conflicting styles */
.conflict-style {
color: blue;
}This text is black, as per the default style.
This text is red because the style uses !important.
This text is red because !important overrides other styles, even though conflict-style is also applied.
