How to hide a div with jQuery?

Question

When I want to hide a HTML <div>, I use the following JavaScript code:

var div = document.getElementById('myDiv'); div.style.visibility = "hidden"; div.style.display = "none"; 

What is the equivalent of that code in jQuery?

$('#myDiv').hide(); 

or

$('#myDiv').slideUp();
