Explanation:

  • This HTML code defines a webpage with a table displaying types and descriptions.
  • The <table> tag creates a table structure.
  • Each row of the table is defined by the <tr> (table row) tag.
  • Within each row, cells are defined using the <th> (table header) tag for header cells and <td> (table data) tag for data cells.
  • The first row contains table header cells <th> for column headings "Type" and "Description".
  • Subsequent rows contain data cells <td> with content representing different types and their descriptions.
  • The border="1" attribute in the <table> tag adds a border around the table cells for better visualization.
