3.5.2 Selecting Cells, Rows and Columns in the Worksheet

        Before performing any operation, you need to select the cells or range of cells. A range is a rectangular block of
        contiguous cells, i.e., cells that touch each other, especially along a line.
        In this section, we will learn how to select cells, rows, and columns. We will also discuss how to insert and delete
        cells, rows, and columns.
        Cells can be selected in a variety of combinations and quantities.

        Selecting Cells
        The various ways to select cells are:

        To select a single cell: Left-click on the cell to be selected. The selection can be verified by looking at the cell address
        in the Name Box.
