$.each instead of for loop in jquery

I want to append li five times in body using each function. But it is not working. It should append five li in body Note: It is just a sample code

$(function(){
    var lgt= 5;
    $.each(lgt,function(i){ 
        $('body').append('<li>'+i+'</li>')
    })
})

$.each expects an array as first parameter, not a number.
You could use var lgt = new Array(5) instead of var lgt = 5.

The first question is Why not use a for loop ?

If you still need to go this way you can use

$(function(){
    var lgt= 5;
    $.each(new Array(lgt),function(i){ 
        $('body').append('<li>'+i+'</li>')
    });
});

but as others have mentioned you cannot add li elements directly to the body..

Check out the jQuery $.each documentation

I dont think what you are trying to do is valid.

It needs a collection to loop through, you are just passing it a single integer
