Using JS Methods in jQuery

Question

In the following code snippet, the String.fromCharCode is used, can all JS methods be used within jQuery?

Perhaps a noob question, but better to ask and prove a noob, then assume and be a fool.

 // Invoke setBodyClass when a key is pressed
$(document).keyup(function(){
    switch (String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode)){
      case 'D':
        setBodyClass('default');
        break;
      case 'N':
        setBodyClass('narrow');
        break;
      case 'L':
        setBodyClass('large');  
        break;
    }

});//end keyup

in one word -- absolutely. And I think the only stupid question is the one not asked.

jQuery is Javascript, so you may use any type of Javascript logic with jQuery.

Yes, all javascript functions can be used with jQuery. jQuery is just a plug-in that adds to javascript.
