Top and bottom space fixing in table

Question

My code are follows:

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{c|l}
Test &Trial\\
Trial &Test\\
& Test
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Vertical rule should be on the exact top and bottom of the table, is it possible to fix? Please advise...

is it something to do with centered cell alignment? if so, this might help you: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7208/how-to-vertically-center-the-text-of-the-cells — Raaja_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Aug 27 '18 at 07:35

This "misalignment" is due to the linespace of your document. You could decrease the space be putting the table in a spacing environment as follows:

\documentclass{book}
 \usepackage{setspace}

\begin{document}

Before:

\begin{tabular}{c|l}
\hline
Test &Trial\\
Trial &Test\\
& Test \\
\hline
\end{tabular}


After:

\begin{spacing}{0.5}
 \begin{tabular}{c|l}
    \hline
    Test &Trial\\
    Trial &Test\\
    & Test \\
    \hline
 \end{tabular}
\end{spacing}

\end{document}

Note, that I inserted \hlines for better visualisation.
