Setting Border Width using Shorthand

The border-width property can also be used as a shorthand to set the border width for all sides in a single declaration. You can specify one, two, three, or four values to set the width for the top, right, bottom, and left sides, respectively.

/* Set border width using shorthand */
.example {
border-width: 2px 4px 6px 8px; /* Top, right, bottom, left */
}

Example:

PHP
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <title>Border Width</title>

    <style>
        .GFG {
            
            /* Top, right, bottom, left */
            border-width: 2px 4px 6px 8px;
            
            /* Required for border-width shorthand */
            border-style: solid;
            border-color: black;
            
            padding: 10px;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <div class="GFG">
