JavaScript Tutorial/Language Basics/Semicolon

End-of-line semicolons are optional.

JavaScript allows the developer to decide whether or not to end a line with a semicolon.

If the semicolon is not provided, JavaScript considers the end of the line as the end of the statement.

   <source lang="javascript">

var test1 = "red" var test2 = "blue";</source>

JavaScript executes your code accordingly even if you forget a semicolon at the end of the line.

You must use a semicolon to separate the two pieces of code when putting two independent pieces of code on one line.

   <source lang="javascript">

</SCRIPT> </body> </html></source>
