Hi Connor

For me, I think after you write a lot of codes you will remember it by yourself.

Don't be so stressed, just keep practice day by day and you'll archive it.

Hope it helps.

Here are some examples:

  • function needs parentheses: function()
  • array needs brackets: arrayName = []
  • a block of code needs braces {} (also use to create object)
