1.0 A zero-based integer indicating which element to retrieve. Retrieve the DOM elements matched by the jQuery object.

The .get() method grants us access to the DOM nodes underlying each jQuery object. Suppose we had a simple unordered list on the page:

<ul>
  <li id="foo">foo</li>
  <li id="bar">bar</li>
</ul>

Without a parameter, .get() returns all of the elements:

alert($('li').get());

All of the matched DOM nodes are returned by this call, contained in a standard array:

[<li id="foo">, <li id="bar">]

With an index specified, .get() will retrieve a single element:

($('li').get(0));

Since the index is zero-based, the first list item is returned:

Each jQuery object also masquerades as an array, so we can use the array dereferencing operator to get at the list item instead:

alert($('li')[0]);

However, this syntax lacks some of the additional capabilities of .get(), such as specifying a negative index:

alert($('li').get(-1));

A negative index is counted from the end of the matched set, so this example will return the last item in the list:

Selects all divs in the document and returns the DOM Elements as an Array, then uses the built-in reverse-method to reverse that array.
