Question

Is there any better way to do this?

Answer 1

Doing it in a better way using css selector, [type*=value]

$(function() {
    var i = 0;
    while( ++i <= 105) {
        $('b').addClass('class-'+ i);
    }
  var clas = '';
  var arey =[]
    $('input[type=button]').click(function() {  
        clas = $('b').attr('class');
        arey = clas.match(/class-\d{1,3}/g);
        $.each(arey, function(i, e) {
            $('b').removeClass(e);      
        });
    });
});
