Flexbox is also known as CSS Flexible Box. This is the new layout model in CSS3 which helps the website to make it responsive. Flex box helps the website to behave according to the size of the window. It mainly deals with how the elements will be arranged, such as a row, column, justify-content, align-item, align-content, etc.

Let's understand it with the help if an example : 

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang='en' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>

<head>

    <meta charset='utf-8' />

    <title>Flexbox | Mindstick</title>

    <style>

        body {

            margin-left: 30%;

            margin-right: 30%

        }

        .bor1 {

            border: 1px solid black;

        }

        .bor2 {

            border: 1px solid red;

        }

        .d-flex {

            display: flex;

        }

        .justify-content-center {

            justify-content: center;

        }

        .m-1 {

            margin: 10px;

        }

        .p-1 {

            padding: 10px;

        }

        .plr-1 {

            padding-left: 10px;

            padding-right: 10px;

        }

        .mlr-1 {

            margin-left: 10px;

            margin-right: 10px;

        }

        .box {

            width: 100px;

            height: 100px;

            border: 1px solid darkblue;

        }

        .flex-row {

            flex-direction: row;

        }

        .flex-column {

            flex-direction: column;

        }

    </style>

</head>

<body class='bor2'> 

    <div class='d-flex flex-row justify-content-center bor1 m-1 p-1'>

       <div class='box mlr-1'></div>

       <div class='box mlr-1'></div>

       <div class='box mlr-1'></div>

       <div class='box mlr-1'></div>

       <div class='box mlr-1'></div>

    </div>

</body>

</html>

Following will  be the output of above code :
