I often want different rows in a table to alternate in color, and I do this by assigning each row a class name and styling it with CSS. This is a simple helper method designed to return a class name based on the given row count.
It is also convenient for me to assign a class to table cells based on the type of content they hold. For example, if I have a cell with a float value in it, I want to display it with a monospace font, whereas if I have a cell with a String in it, I want to display it in a serif font.
