The border-radius property in CSS is used to round the corners of the outer border edges of an element. This property can contain one, two, three, or four values. The border-radius property is used to set the border-radius. This property is not applicable to the table elements when border-collapse is collapsing.

Syntax:
border-radius: 1-4 length|% / 1-4 length|%|initial|inherit;
Property Values:
- length: It represents the shape of the corners & the default value is 0.
- percentage(%): It represents the shape of the corners in %.
- initial: It is used to set an element’s CSS property to its default value.
- inherit: It is used to inherit a property to an element from its parent element property value.
The 4 values for each radius can be specified in the following order as top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left. If the bottom-left is removed then it will be the same as the top-right. Similarly, If the bottom-right & top-right will be removed then it will be the same as the top-left & the top-left respectively.
border-radius: border-radius property can contain one, two, three, or four values.
border-radius: 35px; It is used to set the border-radius of each corner. It is the combination of four properties: border-top-left-radius, border-top-right-radius, border-bottom-left-radius, and border-bottom-right-radius. It sets all corners to the same value.
Example: This example illustrates the border-radius property whose value is specified by the single value.
