jQuery $(document).ready method

jQuery document ready event is used to prevent code run while your document ie. page is loading. It runs the code only when your document is completely loaded and ready.
This is used because some elements ie. selectors are created later in that case your code will not work for those
elements.

Best Example can suppose your code run first in head section and your element is loaded in footer later, in this case your code will not work.

example of document ready method :

   $(document).ready(function(){
          // write your code here...
   });

or you can also use

  $(function(){
          // write your code here...
   });
