How t close tab after it opens javascript code example

Example 1: how to close tab by javascript

// IF you use in a button
<button onclick="window.close();">Exit</button>
// if you use in function
function closeWin() {

</html>
//The code below is from the example.php
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("button").click(function(){
      window.close();
      });
  });//jquery is used to make the user click the button to exit
