What is LESS?
LESS is a CSS preprocessor that allows for variables, nested rules, mixins, and more, making your stylesheets more efficient and maintainable.

@global_font_size: 14px;
@secondary_color: #CCC;
body {
color: @global_color;
font-size: @global_font_size;
}

color: @secondary_color;
font-size: @global_font_size * 2;
}

body {
color: #FF0000;
font-size: 14px;
}
.container {
color: #CCC;
font-size: 24px;
}
