Answer 2

Colspan is used to expand a column size to the specified unit. For example, if the value of colspan is 3, then the corresponding column will occupy space of 3 columns.

Example code: https://code.sololearn.com/WMCtz6gWOqBD/?ref=app

In the above example, the column under blue-green is taking space of 2 columns because its colspan is 2.

Answer 3

Attribute colspan combines the specified quantity into onе.

 if you write a col of 2, then one cell will be like two, and if you write a colspan of 4, then like four.
