Event object-event.which

Event object-event.which, someone asked me to explain?
By:

For keyboard and mouse events, this property determines which key or button you are pressing.

Event.which normalizes event.keyCode and event.charCode . It is recommended to use event.which to monitor keyboard input. See event.charCode on the MDC for more details  .

Example

description:

Keydown property will monitor the button event.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <input id="whichkey" value="type something">
    <div id="log"></div>
    <script>
        $('#whichkey').bind('keydown',function(e){
        $('#log').html(e.type + ': ' +  e.which );  });
    </script>
</body>
</html>
