//javascript
var $exampleElements = $('.example');

Then you can `$exampleElements` executes some methods provided by jQuery, for example:

//javascript
// 在所有被选元素中隐藏第一个元素
$exampleElements.first().hide(); 
// 修改所有被选元素的 HTML 内容为 Hello World!
$exampleElements.html('Hello World!');

//html
<!-- HTML -->
<ul>
  <li>列表项1</li>
  <li>列表项2</li>
  <li>列表项3</li>
</ul>

//javascript
// 获取所有 <li> 元素的 jQuery 对象
var $lis = $(&#39;li&#39;);
// 调用方法修改列表项文本内容和样式
$lis.html(&#39;这是一个列表项&#39;).css(&#39;color&#39;, &#39;red&#39;);
