    Sure, here's an overview of theoretical knowledge about SASS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets):

    ### What is SASS?

    **SASS** is a CSS preprocessor, which adds special features such as variables, nested rules, and mixins
    (functions). SASS helps to keep stylesheets clean and organized, especially for large-scale projects.

    ### Key Features of SASS

    1. **Variables**: SASS allows the use of variables, which makes it easier to manage and reuse values
    throughout the stylesheet.

    ```scss

    $primary-color: #333;

    body {

    color: $primary-color;

    ```

    2. **Nesting**: It provides a way to nest CSS selectors in a way that follows the same visual hierarchy of
    HTML.

    ```scss

    nav {

    ul {

    margin: 0;

    padding: 0;

    list-style: none;

    }
    li { display: inline-block; }

    a{

    display: block;

    padding: 6px 12px;

    text-decoration: none;

    ```

    3. **Partials and Import**: You can split your CSS into smaller, manageable files using partials and
    import them into a main stylesheet.

    ```scss

    // _reset.scss

    *{

    margin: 0;

    padding: 0;

    // styles.scss

    @import 'reset';

    ```

    4. **Mixins**: Mixins allow you to create reusable chunks of CSS that can be included in other selectors.

    ```scss

    @mixin border-radius($radius) {

    -webkit-border-radius: $radius;
    -moz-border-radius: $radius;

    -ms-border-radius: $radius;

    border-radius: $radius;

    .box { @include border-radius(10px); }

    ```

    5. **Inheritance**: SASS allows you to share a set of CSS properties from one selector to another.

    ```scss

    .message {

    border: 1px solid #ccc;

    padding: 10px;

    color: #333;

    .success { @extend .message; border-color: green; }

    .error { @extend .message; border-color: red; }

    .warning { @extend .message; border-color: yellow; }

    ```

    6. **Functions**: SASS provides a variety of built-in functions for color manipulation, mathematics, and
    more.

    ```scss

    $color: #036;

    .border { border-color: lighten($color, 20%); }

    ```
    ### Compilation

    SASS files need to be compiled into regular CSS files before they can be used in a website. There are
    several ways to compile SASS:

    - **Command Line**: Using the `sass` command.

    ```bash

    sass input.scss output.css

    ```

    - **Task Runners**: Tools like Gulp or Grunt can automate the compilation process.

    - **Build Tools**: Webpack with `sass-loader` can be used to compile SASS.

    ### Advantages of Using SASS

    - **Maintainability**: SASS makes it easier to maintain large stylesheets.

    - **Reusability**: Variables, mixins, and functions promote code reuse.

    - **Organization**: Nesting and partials help in organizing CSS in a way that reflects the HTML structure.

    - **Extendability**: It allows you to easily extend CSS rules using inheritance.

    ### Disadvantages of Using SASS

    - **Compilation**: SASS requires a compilation step which can add to the development time.

    - **Learning Curve**: New syntax and features require some learning for developers accustomed to
    plain CSS.

    - **Tooling**: Dependence on tools for compiling SASS can sometimes be a hassle in setting up and
    maintaining the build process.

    SASS enhances the capabilities of CSS, making it a powerful tool for developers who want more control
    and flexibility in their stylesheets.
