Place of return statement in a jQuery plugin in code snippet | Chapter 8 Web Patterns

[imrek]

On p. 178 your book provides an example of a jQuery plugin like this:

$.fn.yeller = function (){
 this.each(function (_, item){
 $(item).val($(item).val().toUpperCase());
 return this;
 });
}

Shouldn't it actually return this only once after the loop (instead of every iteration) or, better yet, return this.each(), as in the documentation.
