I'm trying to learn JQuery and I got this error. Invalid left-hand side in assignment I'm trying to point the selector without using any events function.

        let a = $("td:contains('"+ word +"')") = function(){
            $(this).closest('tr').hide();
            $(this).closest('tr').wrap('<hidden>');
            state = true;
        }         
        a();

    What are you trying to do? What is expected output – navnath Oct 09 '21 at 14:35

    *"point the selector without using any events function"* - What does that even mean? If your goal is for `a` to be a function, what is the intent of having `$("td:contains('"+ word +"')")` there? It's not really clear what you're trying to do. – David Oct 09 '21 at 14:38

The error likely lies in this part:

$("...")=function(){...}

$("...") already returns an object, so you can't assign a function() to it.

From your code, I guess what you want may be this:

let a=(function(){...}).bind($("..."));

a();
