javascript - Select element by index (multiple elements of same class)

Question

Is there a way to select a element by index with Javascript or jQuery? For instance:

<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>
<div class="item"></div>

Under jQuery I could get the length as 4, now is there a way to select and then manipulate a element of "div.item" based on its index number?

$("div.item").eq(0) will give you the first element.
