jqueryHow do I use jQuery to get an element's ID?

The code above consists of the following parts:

• $("#example"): This is a jQuery selector that selects the element with the ID of example.
• attr('id'): This is a jQuery function that returns the value of the id attribute of the selected element.
• var elementID =: This creates a variable called elementID to store the ID of the element.
• console.log(elementID): This prints the value of the elementID variable to the console.
