Drop down menu with clicks

I am creating a drop down menu that shows a submenu when clicked instead of using hover.

When I click it is displayed as it should be but I would like that when I click on another option the previous one is hidden and not kept open as right now.

In advance, thank you very much to the person who takes the trouble to help me, here is the code I'm working with.

$('.parent a').on("click", function(e) {
  $(this).next('ul').toggle();
  e.stopPropagation();
  e.preventDefault();
});
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  outline: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.parent {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  line-height: 30px;
  background-color: #4FA0D8;
  border-right: #CCC 1px solid;
}

.parent a {
  margin: 10px;
  color: #FFFFFF;
  text-decoration: none;
}

.parent>ul {
  position: absolute;
}

.child {
  display: none;
}

.child li {
  background-color: #E4EFF7;
  line-height: 30px;
  border-bottom: #CCC 1px solid;
  border-right: #CCC 1px solid;
  width: 100%;
}

.child li a {
  color: #000000;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0px;
  min-width: 10em;
}

ul ul ul {
  left: 100%;
  top: 0;
  margin-left: 1px;
}

li:hover {
  background-color: #95B4CA;
}

.parent li:hover {
  background-color: #F0F0F0;
}

.expand {
  font-size: 12px;
  float: right;
  margin-right: 5px;
}

You could try with

$('.parent a').on("click", function (e) {
    $('.parent ul').hide();
    $(this).next('ul').toggle();
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.preventDefault();
});

using siblings(), you have quickest solution:

parents("li.parent").last() keeps the highest parent li.parent of selected item

.sibling() keeps all others li.parent brothers (of main menu)

.find("ul") keeps all ul children from all li.parent brothers

$('.parent a').on("click", function(e) {
  $(this).parents("li.parent").last().siblings().find("ul").hide();
  $(this).next('ul').toggle();

  e.stopPropagation();
  e.preventDefault();
});


$('.parent a').on("click", function(e) {
  $(this).parents("li.parent").last().siblings().find("ul").hide();
  $(this).next('ul').toggle();

  e.stopPropagation();
  e.preventDefault();
});
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  outline: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

Move the display logic to ".active" selector in css,

.active {
    display: block;
}

then try the following script.

It would check if the click is not inside current menu, if the click is anywhere but current menu, active class will be removed.

var menu = $('.parent a').next('ul')

$(document).mouseup(e => {
    if (!menu.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
        && menu.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
        {
            menu.removeClass("active");
        }
    });

$('.parent a').on("click", function (e) {
    $(this).next('ul').toggleClass("active");
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.preventDefault();
});

Here's the full code,

var menu = $('.parent a').next('ul')

$(document).mouseup(e => {
    if (!menu.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
        && menu.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
    {
        menu.removeClass("active");
    }
});

$('.parent a').on("click", function (e) {
    $(this).next('ul').toggleClass("active");
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.preventDefault();
});
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  outline: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.parent {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  float: left;
  line-height: 30px;
  background-color: #4FA0D8;
  border-right: #CCC 1px solid;
}

.parent a {
  margin: 10px;
  color: #FFFFFF;
  text-decoration: none;
}

  width: 100%;
}

.child li a {
  color: #000000;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0px;
  min-width: 10em;
}

ul ul ul {
  left: 100%;
  top: 0;
  margin-left: 1px;
}

li:hover {
  background-color: #95B4CA;
}

.parent li:hover {
  background-color: #F0F0F0;
}
