JAVASCRIPT SYNTAX

Like any other programming language, javascript also has a set of syntax rules that need to be followed for error-free programming. These are:

Terminate statements with semi-colon

alert('Hello World');

Reserved words and in-built function names are lowercase

alert('Hello World'); is right

ALERT('Hello World'); is wrong

All whitespace is ignored

var name="John";
alert('Hello World');

is the same as:

var name="John";alert('Hello World');

Commenting scripts is allowed

// short comments

\* This can be used if your comments are very long and go over multiple lines */
