Description:-

  • The eq( ) method returns a jQuery object, while the get( ) the method returns a JS object.
  • The eq( ) method can be used directly with other jQuery methods, but the get( ) method cannot For direct use, you need to convert the return value into a jQuery object before using the jQuery method.

Example:-

$( "selectors" ).eq( 0 );

This returns as a jQuery object, meaning the DOM element is wrapped in the jQuery wrapper, which means that it accepts jQuery functions.

$( "selectors" ).get( 0 );

This returns an array of raw DOM elements. You may manipulate them by accessing their attributes and invoking their functions as you would on a raw DOM element. But it loses its identity as a jQuery-wrapped object.
