CSS Clear Property

In CSS, the clear property is used to control the placement of an element in relation to floated elements. It specifies whether an element should be placed below, next to, or above any floated elements that come before it in the document flow.

The clear property can take four values:

1. left: This value clears any left-floating elements that come before the cleared element, and places the cleared element below them.
2. right: This value clears any right-floating elements that come before the cleared element, and places the cleared element below them.
3. both: This value clears both left and right-floating elements that come before the cleared element, and places the cleared element below them.
4. none: This value is the default, and it places the element next to any floated elements that come before it.

Here is an example that demonstrates the use of clear:

div {
 clear: both;
}

In this example, we have a div element that is cleared using the both value. This means that any floated elements that come before the div will be cleared, and the div will be placed below them.

It is important to use the clear property carefully, as it can affect the layout of the web page. If too many elements are cleared, they can become difficult to manage, and unexpected layout issues may occur. Additionally, clearing elements can also affect the height of the containing element, so it's important to use clear property wisely.
