</li></ul>
<div class="longdesc">
<p>Many methods, both in jQuery and in JavaScript in general, return objects that are array-like. For example, the jQuery factory function <code>$()</code> returns a jQuery object that has many of the properties of an array (a length, the <code>[]</code> array access operator, etc.), but is not exactly the same as an array and lacks some of an array's built-in methods (such as <code>.pop()</code> and <code>.reverse()</code>).</p>
<p>Note that after the conversion, any special features the object had (such as the jQuery methods in our example) will no longer be present. The object is now a plain array.</p>
