Really loving the power of nth selectors,
I was wondering if :nth-of-type()/:nth-last-of-type() accepts the same arguments as the :nth-child.. from the lessons before hand
ie:
odd even integer (an+b)

nth-of-type(): targets the element based on its position within a parent, but only if itβs a specific type of element.
