What is the difference between children() and find() in jQuery?

In jQuery, the children() method is used to select the immediate child elements of the current element, while the find() method is used to select all descendant elements beneath the current element.

In other words, children() only searches for the immediate child elements of the current element, while find() searches for all descendant elements under the current element, including children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and so on. Therefore, children() has a more limited scope of search, only looking for the immediate child elements of the current element, while find() has a broader scope, searching for all descendant elements under the current element.
