Are you trolling huh

Well, if you are not:-
JavaScript is a programming language used majorly on the web. JavaScript is largely used for the web front-end but can as well be used for backend as a server side technology (as could be done with node.js and etc).

Jquery is a library written in JavaScript. It is meant to improve working with JavaScript. The library was written a long time ago when web developers had a lot of issues with compatibility in various browsers.
But now, I think most of the things jquery was created for at that time can now be achieved in plain JavaScript (and maybe combined with html5 and css3)

Let me break it down like this Javascript is like a sweet factory with all the sweet/candy making equipments, but u have to to know how to operate the various machines to actually make candy.
But in Jquery the candy has been made for you all you have to do is pick the right flavor of candy that suits your needs at that point in time wink
