There are two Type of each(). It can be used as selector to grab 'each' instance of a selector or it can be used to loop around objects like arrays.In First case : (each() function with a Selector)We can use each() as a Selector. Assume we have a simple list:

• Item
• Item
• Item

Then with each() we can ask jQuery to look for all the

elements. Now you could of course just do that with $("li") but each allows you to keep a count of where you are.$("li").each(function(i){$(this).append("- " + i); });The above targets each

and appends a dash and an iteration value. The resultant output is:

• Item- 0
• Item- 1
• Item- 2

In Second Case : (each() function with Array)Here we will use the 'global' version of each(). Instead of reference a jQuery object first we call each() as $.each() (like $.getJSON). The global version of each takes an object such as an array as its first parameter and then a callback function as its second. The callback function is often an anonymous / inline function for code brevity. So assume we have an array as follows:var myBooks = new Array("C Language","C++ 7rd Edition","Java Book","C# DotNet","SQL Server 2012","AngularJS","Windows Phone Book","My Best Book"); We could loop around this with $.each() as follows:$.each(dickensBooks, function(i, val){console.log("Index: " + i);console.log("Value: " + val);});And the Output is :0 : C Language 1 : C++ 7rd Edition 2 : Java Book 3 : C# DotNet 4 : SQL Server 2012 5 : AngularJS 6 : Windows Phone Book 7 : My Best BookWe can also use Javascript objects here - Javascript Object having there name : value notation.
