Summary  
Demonstrates how to combine individual CSS transition settings—property, duration, timing function, and delay—into a single shorthand `transition` declaration.  

General domain of usage  
Web user interface animations and styling.

We can combine all transition-related properties into one line.
```css
transition: <property> <time> <time_function> <delay>;
```

Let's imagine we need to add a transition property to the element. We expect: 
- the change of the  `background-color` property;
- the time duration is `1.2s`;
- the time function must be `ease-in-out`;
- the delay is `250ms`.

### Long form
```css
transition-property: background-color;
transition-duration: 1200ms;
transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
transition-delay: 250ms;
```


### Shorthand form
```css
transition: background-color 1200ms ease-in-out 250ms;
```
