I wanted to float class logo to right side of flexbox using float right but it's not actually moving from the place and I cannot find the reason why would be good if anyone could explain me the reason.

I used margin-left: auto; to push the div to right side but I still need to learn the reason why float didn't work.

@DeveloperNans thanks for answering but I want to know the reason why float right didn't work! — gaito Uzumaki, Nov 27 '22 at 06:30
@DeveloperNans no I am still waiting for the reason you would provide I can't figure and Justify-content:end didn't work too — gaito Uzumaki, Nov 27 '22 at 06:36
@DeveloperNans check the code I have included urls for image, I want the font awesome logo (i tag) at the right side — gaito Uzumaki, Nov 27 '22 at 06:40
I am talking about the SVG file if you want that left side and class logo to the right side then just add `justify-content: space-between` in the class navbar — Developer Nans, Nov 27 '22 at 06:41
@DeveloperNans it worked but my question still is why didn't float: right work? — gaito Uzumaki, Nov 27 '22 at 06:43
display flex doesn't support float you have to use display inline or inline block — Developer Nans, Nov 27 '22 at 06:45
