Q: How do you create a grid container in CSS?

To create a grid container, you use the `display: grid` property on the parent element. This establishes a grid formatting context for its child elements. Set `display: grid` on the container element. Define rows and columns using `grid-template-columns` and `grid-template-rows`. Optionally, use `gap` to control spacing between grid items. Use `grid-auto-flow` to control how additional items are placed in the grid. .container { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr); grid-template-rows: 150px 150px; gap: 10px; border: 2px solid #ccc; padding: 10px; } .item { background-color: #3498db; color: white; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; font-weight: bold; } 1 2 3 4 5 6
