Mastering the CSS Reset with the Universal Selector 🚀

The `*` (universal selector) in CSS applies the specified styles to all elements. Using it at the beginning of a project allows you to reset default styles and gain better control over layout behavior.

Here's a common CSS reset example:

<pre class="preFormatted"><code class="codeFormatted">
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
</code></pre>

Let's break down what each rule does:

✔ `margin: 0;` removes any default margin around elements, giving you a clean slate to work with.  
✔ `padding: 0;` removes any default padding inside elements.  
✔ `box-sizing: border-box;` ensures that padding and border are included in the total width and height of an element, preventing unexpected size changes.

CSS is reliant on how styles are applied based on specificity and the order in which they are declared. Always check the cascade to resolve conflicts!
