The border-style property may be defined by using one, two, three, or four values, as given below:
- If a single value is assigned, it will set the style for all 4 sides.
- If two values are assigned, the first style is set to the top and bottom sides and the second will be set to the left & right sides.
- If three values are assigned, the first style is set to the top, the second is set to the left and right, the third is set to the bottom.
- If four-style values are assigned, the styles are set to the top, right, bottom, and left, which follows the clockwise order.
