Ways to define CSS border-radius with 3 examples

How to define the border radius?

The CSS border-radius property sets the rounding of the borders of the specified element. The round may be circle or ellipse. You can set the border-radius in the single declaration by using: e.g.

border-radius: 15px;

>>See A border-radius example by single declaration

Or by using specific border side like top left, or top right, bottom left or bottom right separately: e.g.

border-top-left-radius: 10px;

border-top-right-radius: 20px;

The examples below shows both ways of using the border-radius i.e setting the radius of borders in one declaration and separately.
