Alternating table row colors is a approach that increases the readability in a Table. With the help of CSS we can get this done easily by using the ":nth-child() pseudo-class" with the keywords "even or odd".
This approach is often called the "zebra striping" effect.

Senario: To be able to access a particular cell <td></td> on one of the rows in HTML table. Using jQuery we can easily access a particular row and then target a cell of a HTML table easily by using the eq() traversal filter method and the :nt-child() pseudo-class methods available.
