In "handling-parsing-and-status-code-error" section, in Q3, the ";" is missed for the var !!!?

This is not a question, it's a comment. The answer depends on this typo!!

You're forgetting that semicolons are optional in JavaScript.

This is assuming, of course, that the statements do not share a line.

I expect that you're referring to this line:

var personString = '{"name": "Lauren"}'

This assignment is complete, adding or leaving off the semicolon will have no effect.
