Difference between jquery and $

Question

I did heavy use of jquery on my php project. But on some page the $ is not working, so I have to use jquery. For example:

jQuery(\'#mycarousel\'         


        

Answer 1

The $ represents the jQuery Function, and is an alias for jQuery

Answer 2

The simplest possible console experiment which isslustrates what has already been told:

($ === jQuery); //true
$.noConflict();
($ === jQuery); //false
