How to Dynamically Add Classes to HTML Elements with JavaScript or jQuery

Are you working with HTML elements and need to dynamically change their classes? It can seem daunting, especially if you're unsure how to loop through elements and target the ones you want to modify. In this post, we'll dive into a practical solution that not only adds classes but does so in an organized and efficient manner using both JavaScript and jQuery.

The Challenge

You have a simple HTML structure with several div elements and you want to add specific classes to certain elements (img, h2, and p). The goal is to achieve this dynamically without manually specifying each element. Here's a brief overview of your initial HTML:
