Select nth child in jquery javascript

Question

select nth child like this I want to select seconds child .

$(this).prev().children[1].removeClass(\"necry\").addClass(\"necry_er\");

And this

Answer 1

Use eq() to reduce a set of matched elements to the one at the specified index.

$(this).prev().children().eq(1).removeClass("necry").addClass("necry_er");

There's also a :nth-child selector:

$('#elementID:nth-child(2)').doSomething();

To just swap the two classes you can do:

$('.necry').toggleClass('necry necry_er');

How exactly to go about finding the element you want is a little hard to tell, as there is no explanation as to what this is or what context it is in ?
