Add and remove a class on click using jQuery?

Why not try something like this?

$('#menu li a').on('click', function(){
    $('#menu li a.current').removeClass('current');
    $(this).addClass('current');
});

JSFiddle

you can try this along, it may help to give a shorter code on large function.

$('#menu li a').on('click', function(){
    $('li a.current').toggleClass('current');
});
