How is chaining in jQuery animation accomplished?

Chaining in jQuery animation is accomplished by appending a series of actions with a dot. In jQuery, when you call a method on a jQuery object, it returns that same jQuery object, allowing you to immediately call another method on it. This is the essence of chaining.

For instance, if you want to perform multiple animations in sequence, you can write them one after the other, separated by a dot. This makes the code more concise and readable. For example:

$("#element").fadeIn().slideUp().fadeOut();

In this example, the fadeIn, slideUp, and fadeOut methods are chained together, resulting in a smooth and continuous series of animations on the selected element.

The other methods of attempting to achieve chaining, such as using the $() function, separating actions with commas, or nesting animations within functions, do not facilitate the same fluid execution of consecutive actions in jQuery. Instead, they may not yield the desired sequential effects that chaining allows.
