two ways to change height or width in JQuery

$(selector).height(value)
$(selector).width(value)

We can use the above two ways to change the height or width of a div or element. but there is also another way, like

$(selector).css({"height": "100px", "width":"100px"})

since the second way can be applied to all css element, why the first method?

There is one major difference: in width() and height() you can use function as parameter which returns a value

.height( function(index, height) )

In jQuery, there's often more than one way to do it.

.height and .width are useful convenience methods which simplify programming, while .css is the general method that encompasses all of that functionality (at the expense of being somewhat more cumbersome).
