The following classes are used for the manipulations.

1. addClass() method: The  purpose of addClass() function is to add one or more classes to the specified element or tag.

Syntax:

 $('selector expression').addClass('class name');

Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content=
          "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <script src=
    </script>
     
    <style>
        p{
            border:1px solid black;
            text-align: center;
            padding:2rem;
            margin: 2rem;
        }
        .bgred{
            background-color: red;
        }
        button{
          
            margin:0 10rem;
        }
    </style>
      
</head>
<body>
    <center>
        <h2 style="color:green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>
        <p class="">Hi this is paragraph</p>
  
        <button id="btn">Change background</button>
    </center>
    <script>
        $('button').click(()=>{
            $('p').addClass('bgred')
        })
    </script>
</body>
</html>

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
