One of jQuery’s strengths is that it allows one to act on entire groups of elements without writing out a for
loop or using jQuery’s each
method to iterate through every element. Those loops are still taking place behind the scenes though, and we can use that abstraction to help—or hinder—the efficiency of our code.
