jquery array into selector string/format

Question

I have an array called selected as follows :

var selected = [];

example value of selected from console would return :

["97", "98", "99", "101", "103", "105", "106"]

I need to turn these into a multiple selector of ids... for example :

$('#97', '#98', '#99', '#101', '#103', '#105', '#106').click( function () {
    alert('hi');
});

Simple solution: use join.

Example:

var selected = 
    ["97", "98", "99", "101", "103", "105", "106"];

var selector = "#" + selected.join(", #");

$('#' + ["97", "98", "99", "101", "103", "105", "106"].join(',#')).click(function(){
  //code here
});

'#' + ["97", "98", "99", "101", "103", "105", "106"].join(',#')

# for the first element than all other elements are joined by .join(',#') i.e ,#

In case of variable use it like this

'#' + selected.join(',#')
