Focus on css mainly

The `box-sizing` property is used to control how the total size of an element is calculated, specifically concerning its `width` and `height`. There are three possible values for the `box-sizing` property. Let's break down what each of these values means:
```css
box-sizing: content-box | border-box | inherit;
```

Width/height include content + padding + border.

Content area shrinks to fit padding and border.

What is the default value for the `box-sizing` property?
