using jquery, accessing parent div and checking if it has a specific class

Question

How would I access parent div and check if it has a specific class

<div class="current">
    <img src="aaa.jpg" class="me-child">
</div>

with jquery clicking on the div and using this keyword, I want to know if parent div has the class of current

thanks

`if($(this).closest('div').hasClass('current'))` OR `if($(this).parent().hasClass('current'))` — Mohamed-Yousef, Dec 27 '18 at 12:29
