What is difference between get() and eq() in jquery?

Question

What is the difference between

var row1 = $(\'tr\').get(0);

and

var row2 = $(\'tr\').eq(0);

Answer 1

The .get() method returns a DOM element at the given index.

The .eq() method returns a DOM element at the given index, wrapped in a jQuery object.

Another difference is that if you don't pass an argument to .get(), it will return an Array of the DOM elements in the jQuery object.
