Carousel

Carousel is a slideshow component for cycling through elements like images or slides of text. It provides a dynamic way of representing large amount of data (text or images) by sliding or cycling through, in a smooth fashion

Sample Code of Image Slider is below :

<html>
<head>
  
<!-- BootStrap's minified CSS version -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-PsH8R72JQ3SOdhVi3uxftmaW6Vc51MKb0q5P2rRUpPvrszuE4W1povHYgTpBfshb" crossorigin="anonymous">


 </head>

<style>
  
.carousel-indicators li
{
background-color:red;
} 

.carousel-indicators .active
{
background-color:blue;
}

.carousel-indicators .item
{
height:700 px;
width :800 px;
}
</style>


<body>
  <!-- Declaring div for Carousel to appear inside it -->
<div class="container">

<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
  
<!-- Indicators -->
  
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
   <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
   <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="1" ></li>
   <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
</ol>
