What is SCSS and how do I use it?

Hi! Recently, I've been browsing CodePen for fun projects, and I notice a lot of them use scss. I copy the code accordingly into my editor with my new files, and name the css one .scss. Then, I create the stylesheet link in my index.html linking to "name.scss". But usually just the html executes in my browser and no other code to create an animation, effect, etc. Any ideas? Thanks!

Scss is a syntax of css preprocessor called Sass.Sass usually help us to write css in better and fast without any repeatation of code. You can checkout the course on Sass by Hampton Catlin actually he himself is founder of Sass. The reason behind name.scss not work is that the browser can't able to read sass code you need to convert into css to make it run.
