Difference between val() and text()

Question

What the difference between jQuery\'s functions val() and text()?

Where would you use one over the other?

Answer 1

val() is used to fetch value from all html input types like(checkbox,text,etc),where user have an option to input value. Ex:-

 
 bike
   
 

where as text() is used to fetch value from the html elements where user will not interact like (p,div etc)
