Trying to understand how jquery works under the covers, what's the difference between:

jQuery.fn and jQuery.prototype

jQuery = window.jQuery = window.$ = function( selector, context ) {
    	// The jQuery object is actually just the init constructor 'enhanced'
    	return new jQuery.fn.init( selector, context );
},

and then:

jQuery.fn = jQuery.prototype = {
    init: function( selector, context ) {
