With jQuery it's probably like 4 or 5 lines. With plain JS a few more as you have to write your own iterator function. All an accordion does is add an event listener that removes a class from all elements and adds it back to one of them. Then there's a 1 line transition for that class in css.

Is jQuery included in those 4 or 5 lines? One line of CSS in your accordion?

  If you had read the next sentence of my comments you would have seen that it would be a "few more lines" if you didn't use jQuery, basically you need a function like: function eachItem(arrayLike, cb) { return [].slice.call(arrayLike).forEach(cb); } So 3 more lines. If I said you can write a very verbose accordion in under 20 lines would that be good enough for you?

    >> So 3 more lines. If I said you can write a very verbose accordion in under 20 lines would that be good enough for you? Since that's more realistic, yes that would do nicely.

      Crap, can't edit. Two others completed the accordion in 3 lines task without jQuery.

  I'm not sure why the actual jQuery library matters here. Chances are if you're using jQuery for an accordion you're also using it for a lot of other things.
