Could we mix jQuery code and JavaScript code in the same statement?

Because I wrote a statement with those libraries together and it didn't work.

All jQuery code is JavaScript code. When you use jQuery, you are just adding a library of functions to your JavaScript.

But it's important to keep in mind that jQuery uses some unique data structures and the appropriate conversions must be applied when mixing jQuery with other JavaScript code.
