Good Practices - The JavaScript 'use strict' Statement

1) So is it good practice to always use 'Strict mode' ?

2) Why would we not want to 'Strict Mode all the time ?

3) If we call 'Strict Mode' at the beginning of a page, will it automatically apply to local functions?

Hi nishnash,

1) So is it good practice to always use 'Strict mode' ? Yes.

2) Why would we not want to 'Strict Mode all the time ? There isn't really a good reason not to in my opinion.

3) If we call 'Strict Mode' at the beginning of a page, will it automatically apply to local functions? Yes.
