# Target HTML Elements with Selectors Using jQuery

---
## Problem Explanation

- jQuery selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML elements.
- These selectors start with the dollar sign and parentheses: $()
- You can "find" (or select) HTML elements based on their name, id, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes and much more.

**Example:**

```js
//You can select all <p> elements on a page like this  =  $("p")
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("button").click(function() {
    $("p").hide();
  });
});
```
