Sass is called css pre-processor which reduces repetition 

of css codes and this way saves time. 

 Let's say we need to set following three css values. So many 

many times you need to type those values. Instead of typing 

these values a lot of times, why not use sass and write like this:

/* Define variables and values for site */

$bgcolor: lightblue;

$txtcolor: blue;

$fontsize: 16px;

/* Use those variables */

body {

  background-color: $bgcolor;

  color: $txtcolor;

  font-size: $fontsize;

}

Browser does not get Sass code. So, you need a Sass 

pre-processor to convert Sass code into normal css 

by a process called transpiling.
