Section C.4. Semicolon
C.4. Semicolon
JavaScript uses a C-like syntax, which requires the use of semicolons to delimit statements. JavaScript attempts to make semicolons optional with a semicolon insertion mechanism. This is dangerous.
Like C, JavaScript has ++ and -- and ( operators, which can be prefixes or suffixes. The disambiguation is done by the semicolon.
