semicolons

When writing JavaScript, some developers prefer not to use semicolons for a cleaner code. However, there are situations where we need to be careful, especially when using the require() function in Node.js to load external modules and files. In certain cases, you may encounter an error like this: TypeError: require(...) is not a function This error can be a bit confusing. Let’s go over how this error can occur. For example, let’s say you require a library and then need to execute some code at the root level using an immediately-invoked async function:...

JavaScript semicolons are not required but have been a topic of debate among developers. While some prefer using semicolons in their code, others choose to avoid them. Personally, I used to rely on semicolons for years until the fall of 2017, when I decided to experiment with omitting them. I configured Prettier, an automated code formatter, to remove semicolons from my code unless they were necessary for specific language constructs....

This tutorial is part of the Swift series. In Swift, semicolons are optional. You can write statements on separate lines without needing to add a semicolon: let list = ["a", "b", "c"] var a = 2 Adding a semicolon in this case does not change anything: let list = ["a", "b", "c"]; var a = 2; However, if you want to write multiple statements on the same line, you must include a semicolon:...
