Difference between find and filter

Question

I have recently jumped into the world of jQuery. I saw the methods find() and filter() but can not figure out the difference between the two.

Answer 1

find()

find() returns the descendants of the selected elements that match the selector.

From the doc:

Description: Get the descendants of each element in the current set of matched elements, filtered by a selector.

filter()

filter() filters the elements based on the selector or the provided function.

From the doc:

Description: Reduce the set of matched elements to those that match the selector or pass the function's test.
