[jQuery] Executing multiple actions on the same selection

[jQuery] Executing multiple actions on the same selection


In some other languages I have had experience with one can use the
following pattern...
object [
.doThis()
.andThis()
.andAlsoThis()
]
Is there a way to do this with jQuery?
$(a){
.hide();
.addClass();
}
***Instead of ***
$(a).hide();
$(a).addClass();
