8,496 Pointsdeclaring function in variable
In javascript basic course dave mcfarland said that if we declare function in variable we need to put ' ; ' after the function block statement like this. if we don't it caused error.
var foo = function() {
};
But Andrew not using any semicolon in his course after declaring the the function in variable and caused no error.
var foo = function() {
}

JS will automatically add semicolons if you leave them out. There can be problems though; the semicolons are not always added in the spot you had intended. This can result in bugs or other undesired behavior. So it is best to be explicit and place those semicolons yourself :)
