jQuery - trigger('change') vs change()

Question

Edit: To clarify, what I want to ask is: In what scenario will you prefer one over another? (maybe an advantage on either one of the syntax?)

What is the difference between:

.trigger('change') and .change()

Both works as expected. Is there any cases where both will behave differently?

Answer 1

The JQuery documentation for .change() says:

This method is a shortcut for .on( "change", handler ) in the first two variations, and .trigger( "change" ) in the third.
