If I have a selector like
$.('.active');
How can I see how many items that matched?
Alternatively, is there an easy way to see if more than zero elements were matched?

The jQuery syntax is tailor-made for selecting HTML elements and performing some action on the element(s). Basic syntax is: $(selector).action() A $ sign to define/access jQuery. A (selector) to "query (or find)" HTML elements. A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s)
ID and Element selector are the fastest selectors in jQuery.

call .length
