6,113 Pointscan someone help me with this
Convert the plain JavaScript code in the app.js file to jQuery. Assume the selected element has a class of profile-header, and use the jQuery method .hide().
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="profile-header">Student <span>Profile</span></h1>
<script
src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
$('.profile-header').click(function(){
$("").hide();
});

14,115 PointsCan someone explain why we have the $ in the javascript and jQuery above? I'm lost.
Kieran Barker
15,028 PointsThis is how you select elements with jQuery.
These:
jQuery('.profile-header');
$('.profile-header');
Are the similar to these in vanilla JavaScript:
document.querySelectorAll('.profile-header');
document.getElementsByClassName('profile-header');

jQuery('.box').hide(); // you can do
$('.box').hide();
