<ratio>

The <ratio> CSS data type, used for describing aspect ratios in media queries, denotes the proportion between two unitless values.

Syntax

In Media Queries Level 3, the <ratio> data type consisted of a strictly positive <integer> followed by a forward slash ('/', Unicode U+002F SOLIDUS) and a second strictly positive <integer>. Spaces before and after the slash are optional. The first number represents the width, while the second represents the height.

In Media Queries Level 4, the <ratio> date type is updated to consist of a strictly positive <number> followed by a forward slash ('/', Unicode U+002F SOLIDUS) and a second strictly positive <number>. In addition a single <number> as a value is allowable.

Our brains are wired to find things we are looking for - if your always cynical or waiting for things to go wrong, then your life will reflect that. On the other hand, having a positive outlook on life will bring you joy and provide you with inspiration when you least expect it ☀️🍉🌴
