 - `--header`, `--footer`, and `--main` are all examples of CSS variables. You will be learning about these in the next lesson.
 
 Setting main to equal the outcome of: `100vh - (3rem + 40px)`.
 To put it another way:  `main = 100vh - (header + footer)`.

 Focus on this line `width: min(150px, 100%);` we can make several observations:
 If there are `150px` available to the image, it will take up all `150px`.
 If there are not `150px` available, the image will switch to `100%` of the parent's width.
 In the first case `min()` selects `150px`, since `150px` is the smaller (the minimum) between `150px` and `100%` of the parent's width; in the second, it chooses `100%`. `min()` behaves as a boundary for the _maximum_ allowed value, which in this example is `150px`.
 <br>You are able to do basic math inside a `min ( )` => for example: `width: min(80ch, 100vw - 2rem);`
 
 ### max()
 
 Max works the same way as min, only in reverse. It will select the largest possible value from within the parentheses. You can think of `max()` as ensuring a _minimum_ allowed value for a property.
 
 Consider the following property of a given element:

 ### clamp()
 
-`clamp()` is a great way to make elements fluid and responsive.
-`clamp()` takes 3 values:
+Imagine you're designing a website and want headings to look good on any device, from a tiny phone screen to a giant monitor.  The `clamp()` function is like a tool that helps you set the perfect size for your headings on any screen.
 
 ```css
 h1 {
   font-size: clamp(320px, 80vw, 60rem);
 }
 ```
 
-1. the smallest value (320px)
-2. the ideal value (80vw)
-3. the largest value (60rem)
+1. **Minimum size (320px in the example):** This is like the narrowest the heading can get. Even on a super small screen, the heading won't shrink any smaller than 320px so it stays readable.
+2. **Ideal size (80vw in the example):** This is the sweet spot where you want the heading to be most of the time. The `vw` unit means "viewport width" - so 80vw makes the heading size 80% of the width of the screen. This makes it flexible and adjusts as the screen size changes.
+3. **Maximum size (60rem in the example):** This is like a safety guard to prevent the heading from getting too big on very large screens. Here, 60rem is the largest the heading can be.
 
-The `clamp()` CSS function uses these values to set the smallest value, ideal value and largest value. In the above example, this would mean the smallest acceptable font-size would be 320px and the largest would be 60rem. The ideal font-size would be 80vw.
+So, the `clamp()` function considers the screen size and makes sure the heading stays within a comfortable reading range, no matter what device someone is using!
