--description--

You can also target elements based on their positions using :odd or :even selectors.

Note that jQuery is zero-indexed which means the first element in a selection has a position of 0. This can be a little confusing as, counter-intuitively, :odd selects the second element (position 1), fourth element (position 3), and so on.

Here's how you would target all the odd elements with class target and give them classes:

$(".target:odd").addClass("animated shake");

Try selecting all the even target elements and giving them the classes of animated and shake. Remember that even refers to the position of elements with a zero-based system in mind.

--hints--

All of the target elements that jQuery considers to be even should shake.

assert(
$('.target:even').hasClass('animated') && $('.target:even').hasClass('shake')
);

You should use the :even selector to modify these elements.

assert(code.match(/\:even/g));

You should only use jQuery to add these classes to the element.

assert(
code.match(/\$\(".target:even"\)/g) ||
code.match(/\$\('.target:even'\)/g) ||
code.match(/\$\(".target"\).filter\(":even"\)/g) ||
code.match(/\$\('.target'\).filter\(':even'\)/g)
);
