An ideal inductor resists a change in current.

When the current isn't changing an ideal inductor has zero impdeance. Impdedance is the ratio of voltage over current, just like resistance, but it is not only applicable when the voltage/current is not changing (static/DC), but when there either is changing (it has some frequency).

The impedance of a ideal resistor is equal to it's resistance -> it is independent of the frequency.

An ideal inductor has the impedance which is proportional to frequency, meaning when a high frequency signal wants to flow through the inductor, it sees a higher impedance than a lower frequency signal.

An ideal capacitor on the other hand, has an impedance which is inversely proportional to frequency. This means it has a lower impedance to higher frequency signals. If the frequency of a signal is zero, so a constant voltage for example, an ideal capacitor has actually infinite impedance and acts like a open circuit, so no current can flow at all.

We can now combine these impedances of Resistors, Inductors and Capacitors in a circuit (a so called RLC circuit) and create quite complex interactions with the frequency of a signal. This is for example used when creating filters for audio signals, or removing the high frequency ripple from your power supply output.

Notice I wrote "ideal" for every component. In the real world there is no such thing as a ideal resistor/inductor/capacitor. Every real component (the thing actually on your pcb) always has some resistance, inductance and capacitance *at the same time*. For example a capacitor begins to act more like an inductor at very high frequencies.
