Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What does jQuery give you that JavaScript doesn't?	jQuery the $ function that seems to allow you more direct access to manipulating the elements in the HTML. I believe it was also indicated that jQuery can be used to handle some of the difference in how browsers read/implement JavaScript differently, allowing the application to be more usable across browsers
Describe what the following jQuery selector would give you: $('#list')	It would select the element within the html that has an id with the value of 'list'
What are three major things you learned about JavaScript this week?	I learned that JavaScript is a very powerful tool that apparently lacks a solid footing but is the only language for frontend development really (so really important to know), it is very interesting to see how jquery or vanilla JavaScript can be used to change and manipulate content through events within the website or application on the same page and response cycle, such as a click. With Rails, there was changing content but it required a new request cycle (I may be assuming things here). Finally, I think it was important to start pulling apart the similarities from coding that can be found in JavaScript such as loops and conditionals paired with the ways in which the syntax and code a slightly different in JavaScript (curly braces and arrow functions and the existence of a for loop)
