Grid System - Medium & Large Device

We have seen the basic grid system in Example − Stacked-to-horizontal;. Here we have used 2 divs and gave them the 50%/50% split at the medium viewport width −

<div class = "col-md-6">....</div>
<div class = "col-md-6">....</div>

But at large, your design could really be better as a 33%/66%. So what we’re going to do is, set it up to change the column widths at the breakpoint −

<div class = "col-md-6 col-lg-4">....</div>
<div class = "col-md-6 col-lg-4">....</div>

Now Bootstrap is going to say “at the medium size, I look at classes with md in them and use those. At the large size, I look at classes with the word lg in them and use those. In this case, our 2 divs will go from a 50%/50% split and then up to a 33%/66%. Check it out in the following example. (Here styling for each column is used. You can avoid it.)

<div class = "container">
   <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
   
   <div class = "row">
   
      <div class = "col-md-6 col-lg-4" style = "background-color: #dedef8;
         box-shadow: inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">
         
         <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do 
            eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut 
            enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris 
            nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>

         <p>Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem 
            accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa 
            quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae 
            dicta sunt explicabo.</p>
      </div>

      <div class = "col-md-6 col-lg-8" style = "background-color: #dedef8;
         box-shadow: inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">
         
         <p>Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem 
            accusantium doloremque laudantium.</p>
         
         <p>Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, 
            consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi 
            tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat 
            voluptatem.</p>
      </div>
      
   </div>
</div>
