what does the '[0]' mean with $('#div')[0]?

What does the [0] mean? Also is there a reference/manual that i can use to prevent asking simple questions like this..

    var height = $('.string-parent-container')[0].scrollHeight;
$('.string-parent-container').scrollTop(height);

A different way that returns a jquery object (as opposed to an HTMLElement) would be:

$('.string-parent-container:eq(0)') // returns the first object with that class

This allows you to do something like

$('.string-parent-container:eq(0)').show()

$('.string-parent-container:eq(0)').addClass('newclass')

etc

It means the first element that matches $('.string-parent-container')

$('.string-parent-container') returns a collection of elements with the class string-parent-container. And [0] is the first element that has this class.
