Difference between .bind and other events

Question

What is the difference between the following lines of code, or are they just 2 different ways to write the same thing:

$(\"p\").click(function() { some code here         


        

Answer 1

Also note that binds allows for custom events

$(elem).bind('myEvent', function(){
   alert('myEvent!');
});
$(elem).trigger('myEvent'); //alerts 'myEvent!'
