Difference Between window.resize() and window.on('resize') in jquery

Question

What is difference between window.resize() and window.on('resize' , function()) in jquery?

Answer 1

From jQuery page .resize():

This method is a shortcut for .on('resize', handler).

and .on() is:

The .on() method attaches event handlers to the currently selected set of elements in the jQuery object. As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method provides all functionality required for attaching event handlers. For help in converting from older jQuery event methods, see .bind(), .delegate(), and .live().

So based on jQuery api description, I think there is no difference it's just a shortcut similar to $.click() and others
