Check if an object is a jQuery object.

Sample Solution:

HTML Code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js"></script>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
  <title>Check if object is a jQuery object.</title>
  </head>
  <body>
</body>
  </html>

JavaScript Code:

var obj1 = { what: "A regular JS object" },
obj2 = $('body');

     console.log('obj1 is a jQuery object.');    
}

      console.log('obj2 is a jQuery object.');
}
