What is the difference between the display: block and display: inline-block in CSS?

Sr.No. display: block display: inline-block
1. Elements with display: block; generate a block-level box. Elements with display: inline-block; generate an inline-level block container.
2. Block-level elements start on a new line and take up the full available width of their parent container by default. They do not start on a new line by default and appear within the flow of surrounding text or elements.
3. They create a "block" of content that pushes subsequent elements to appear below them. Inline-block elements behave like inline elements, allowing other content to flow around them horizontally, but they can also have width, height, and vertical alignment properties.
4. Common block-level elements include <div>, <p>, <h1> to <h6>, and <section>. Inline-block is commonly used for creating elements like buttons, inline lists, or inline-level containers for content.
5. Block-level elements often have margins on top and bottom. Inline-block elements have margins on left and right by default.
