Do I absolutely have to use semicolons?

JavaScript engine will attempt to insert them automatically (ASI), but explicitly adding them prevents ambiguous code parsing and unexpected errors, especially when minifying code.

It is the standard naming convention in JS where the first word is lowercase, and each subsequent word starts with a capital letter (e.g., `userFirstName`).

Can I use emojis in my variable names?

Technically yes, since ES6 allows Unicode characters in identifiers, but it is highly discouraged as it makes the codebase unreadable and difficult to type.

Syntax Grammar

The fundamental rules and structural grammar of the JavaScript language.

Every programming language has a grammar. In JavaScript, these rules are called syntax, and they define exactly how your instructions should be written to be understood by the browser.

1Statements & Semicolons

A JavaScript program is a sequence of statements. Each statement is a single instruction. While JavaScript has 'Automatic Semicolon Insertion', relying on it can lead to subtle bugs. Explicitly ending your statements with a semicolon (;) is a core best practice that ensures your logic is interpreted exactly as intended across all environments.

2The Identity Protocol

Identifiers are the names you choose for your code elements.

→Case Sensitivity: User and user are different.
→Start Rules: Must start with a letter, $, or _.
→Reserved Words: You cannot use keywords like class, return, or let as names. Following these rules is the first step toward writing error-free JavaScript.
