The basic syntax rules for JavaScript
· JavaScript is case-sensitive.
· JavaScript statements end with a semicolon.
· JavaScript ignores extra whitespace in statements.
· Single-line comments begin with two forward slashes.
· Multi-line comments begin with /* and end with */.
A single-line comment
nextYear = thisYear + 1; // Add 1 to this year
A multi-line comment
/* The following line
determines what the
next year is by
adding 1 to the current year
*/
nextYear = thisYear + 1;
