jQuery - trigger('change') vs change()

Edit: To clarify, what I want to ask is: In what scenario will you prefer one syntax over the another?

What is the difference between:

.trigger('change') and .change()

Both works as expected. Is there any scenario where the syntax will make a difference?

I recommand to use .trigger('change'), hence .change() is deprecated.

Both trigger and change are events but trigger gives you a feature to call anywhere like here on page load. If you want to call this change event on page load so u can use $(element).trigger('change').

$(element).on("change", function(){
    // statement
})

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(element).trigger('change');
});

The JQuery documentation for .change() says:

This method is a shortcut for .on( "change", handler ) in the first two variations, and .trigger( "change" ) in the third.
