How do I change the size of a column in bootstrap? code example

Example 1: row class in bootstrap

/*
In Bootstrap, the "row" class is used mainly to hold columns in it.
Bootstrap divides each row into a grid of 12 virtual columns. 
In the following example, the col-md-6 div will have the width of 6/12 of the "row"s div, meaning 50%. 
The col-md-4 will hold 33.3%, and the col-md-2 will hold the remaining 16.66%.
*/

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6"></div>
    <div class="col-md-4"></div>
    <div class="col-md-2"></div>
</div>

Example 2: bootstrap change column width

.col-sm-3half, .col-sm-8half {
    position: relative;
    min-height: 1px;
    padding-right: 15px;
    padding-left: 15px;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
