Why cursive font doesn't work

Question

I am learning CSS. I tried to make the text italic. But the text is not in italics. What is the problem?

.bold {
  font-weight: bold;
}

.italic {
  font-weight: italic;
}

<p>This is some text</p>

<p class="bold">This is some bold text</p>

<p class="italic">This is some italic text</p>

You gave the wrong property for ITALY . Try this property and specify the same value

.italic{
font-style:italic;
}

Italic is not a weight font (which determines how bold the text is). It's afont-style

Use font-style: italic;

instead.

font-weight

is responsible for courage and uses the number (100, 200, 300, ..., 900) to set it; "bold" is only a special value.

italic

is a property font-style

, not a font weight:

.italic{
font-style:italic;
}

You cannot set italic using the CSS command called font-weight

.

.bold {
  font-weight: bold;
}

.italic {
  font-style: italic;
}

<p>This is some text</p>

<p class="bold">This is some bold text</p>

<p class="italic">This is some italic text</p>
