Colspan is used to how many numbers of columns should be used.
In simple words, we used the colspan to take the more column size (width)
Example-
if we declare colspan="1" then column increase one column size .and if declare <td colspan="4"> then column takes the size of four columns .
The following example of a table in which we will use the colspan 2.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Type of Heading Tags </title>
</head>
<body>
<table height="150" width="500" border="1">
