The jQuery :nth-child() Selector Selects all elements that are the nth-child of their parent elements.
Syntax:
$("Selector:nth-child( index | even |odd |equation )")- Index: Index provided. Index starts from
- even: even number of child elements get selected.
- odd: odd number of child elements will get selected.
- equation: select child elements by solving a formula(an+b).
Example: In this example, we are using the above-explained nth-child() selector.
