A zebra-striped table is a table that has alternating shaded rows to provide visual distinction between rows and make the table easier to read and understand. This is commonly used in tables with a large number of rows.
Note: To create a zebra-striped table, use the nth-child() selector and add a background color to all even (or odd) table rows.
Syntax:
<table class="table table-striped">
//table Data
</table>
