1) How often is Jquery used now that other frontend libs like React have become so popular?  They seem to propose different philosophies
on how updates should be made to html pages.

2) Need to see more examples of using js- prefixed classes to better understand how to create an abstraction layer between js code and css code.

3) Is Jquery mostly used for mostly traversal and manipulation?

.... I don't have any other questions currently!

function getTokens(rawString) {
    // NB: `.filter(Boolean)` removes any falsy items from an array

    // Overall goal is to sanitize the text and return an array of the words
    // 1) converts all characters to lowercase
    // 2) splits the string when it encounters various delimiters like a space or punctuation
    // 3) removes any falsy values from the array
    // 4) sorts the words alphabetically
    return rawString.toLowerCase().split(/[ ,!.";:-]+/).filter(Boolean).sort();
  }

What is scope? Your explanation should include the idea of global vs. local scope.
Scope is the accessibility of data within the execution of a program.  When the JS interpreter executes a file, it
looksup variables within its scope chain. "This" represents the current scope.  And if the declared variable is not
found in the current scope the parent scope is checked.  All the way up the chain until the global scope is checked.

Why are global variables avoided?
Global variables should be avoided because they lead to bad programming practices.  Functions should be deterministic and free
from side effects.  By using global variables, you can access data in non-obvious ways which can lead to functions behaving
differently based on the state of global variables.  This can lead to buggy code that is hard to fix.
