Code Structure

Here are some notes I've made to help you guys with your syntax. Think of it like a "cheatsheet". Some tips to remember:

• Keep an eye on semicolons, usually control flow blocks (if blocks, for, while loops etc.) do not need a semicolon.
• Keep an eye on your opening and closing brackets ( { & } ).
• Be careful when using assignment operators ( = ) and equality operators ( == and === ). Assignment is for setting, equality is for comparing.
• Keep an eye on quotation marks. Match doubles with doubles ( " ), singles with singles ( ' ).
  • Also: Watch when you're using apostrophes inside strings: var sentence = "You're weird";.
    Make sure you don't do this: var sentence = 'You're weird'; This will give you errors.
• When checking conditions with logical operators ( &&, ||, ! ), you cannot combine your conditions.
• Incorrect: if ( chicken === yummy && tasty )
