What are HTML tags and attributes?

Short answer: Tags define the structure and content (e.g., <p>, <h1>, <div>). Attributes provide additional details about an element (e.g., src, href, alt). Follow me on LinkedIn:

Example code

<img src="logo.png" alt="Company Logo"> Here, <img> is a tag, and src & alt are attributes. Key Takeaway: Tags = structure; Attributes = extra information.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
