Example Output

Here's the LaTeX code to create a simple table with three columns and two rows, including a header row with the titles "Name," "Age," and "City," and a data row with the values "John," "25," and "New York":

\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
Name & Age & City \\
\hline
John & 25 & New York \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Sample Table}
\label{tab:sample}
\end{table}

Explanation:

• The table environment is used to create a floating table that can be positioned automatically by LaTeX.
• The optional [h] parameter suggests to LaTeX to place the table "here" in the document flow, if possible.
• The \centering command centers the table horizontally on the page.
• The tabular environment is used to create the actual table structure.
• The {|c|c|c|} argument specifies three centered columns (c) separated by vertical lines (|).
• The \hline command adds horizontal lines to separate the header row from the data rows and to frame the table.
• The & character separates the cells within a row, and \\ marks the end of a row.
• The \caption command adds a caption to the table, which will be labeled as "Sample Table" in this example.
• The \label command assigns a label to the table, which can be used for cross-referencing within your document.

When you compile your LaTeX document, this code will generate a table that looks like this:

+------+-----+----------+
| Name | Age |   City   |
+------+-----+----------+
| John |  25 | New York |
+------+-----+----------+
