Shorthands

Definitions

1. Condensed syntax forms that let a developer express a common operation in fewer characters or lines than the full equivalent, such as CSS shorthand properties (margin: 10px 20px), ternary operators, or destructuring assignments.

   In plain English: Abbreviated ways of writing code that do the same thing as the longer version but with less typing.

   Example: "Use the CSS shorthand — `background: url(...) no-repeat center/cover` — instead of writing five separate properties."
