Variable Declarations

All variables should be declared before they are used. Variable declarations should take place at the beginning of a function using a single var statement with one variable per line. All lines after the first should be indented one level so that the variable names line up. Variables should be initialized when declared if applicable, and the equals operator should be at a consistent indentation level. Initialized variables should come first followed by uninitialized variables.

// Good
var count   = 10,
    name    = "Nicholas",
    found   = false,
    empty;

// Bad: Improper initialization alignment
var count = 10,
    name = "Nicholas",
    found= false,
    empty;

// Bad: Incorrect indentation
var count   = 10,
name    = "Nicholas",
found   = false,
empty;

// Bad: Multiple declarations on one line
var count   = 10, name = "Nicholas",
    found   = false, empty;

// Bad: Uninitialized variables first
var empty,
    count   = 10,
    name    = "Nicholas",
    found   = false;

// Bad: Multiple var statements
var count   = 10,
    name    = "Nicholas";

var found   = false,
    empty;
