}
</code>
</pre>

Exploring the <code> Tag

To explore the <code> tag in a practical setting, let's create a simple HTML example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Exploring the <code> Tag</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Exploring the <code> Tag</h1>

  <p>The <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> tag is used to display code snippets within an HTML document.</p>

  <pre>
    <code>
      // This is a simple JavaScript function
      function myFunction() {
        console.log("Hello World!");
      }
    </code>
  </pre>

  <p>You can use the <code>&lt;code&gt;</code> tag to display any type of code, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more.</p>
</body>
</html>

In this example, the <code> tag is used to display a simple JavaScript function within a <pre> block. The <pre> block preserves the formatting of the code, making it easier to read and understand.
