CSS nth child Selectors

  • We can use the nth-child selector to target specific element by their index number.
  • We can target odd or even numbered elements
  • We can target patterns of elements, like every 3rd paragraph.
main p:nth-child(2) {
  /*targets a paragraph inside each <main> element. 
    if the 2nd child is a paragraph  */
}
p:nth-child(odd) {
  /* targets all the odd numbered paragraphs */
}
p:nth-child(3n) {
  /* targets every 3rd paragraph */
}
p:first-child {
  /* targets the first paragraph on the page */
}
p:last-child {
  /* targets the last paragraph on the page */
}
p:nth-of-type(3) {
  /* targets the third paragraph, regardless of
    whether or not there are other siblings of the
    paragraph which are not paragraphs */
}
