"Add click listener to the link with an anonymous function containing no code to each link." What is click listener? .click? This is so unclear to me. I'm pretty sure this sentence is not even grammatically correct. SO CONFUSED. HELP. Thank you!

.click( function() {});

7,325 PointsHahahaha!! I got it. I tried that exact solution and it didn't work because I put it on the next line.... Uh...buh. I feel a little silly now. Thank you so much!!!

//do foo here
});
$('#f00') is a jQuery selector in this case it's selecting an html element with an id="foo".
.click() is a is basically a jQuery property that tells the browser to listen out for when something happens which are called events.
function(){} has no name before it therefore it's anonymous.
Therefore In english, Browser can you listen for a click event on the #foo when you hear it can you do this for me.
