Semicolon Line Endings

When writing EZ-Script code, at the end of the line you simply press <enter> and start coding on the next line. However, in JavaScript, it is recommended to terminate the line with a semicolon ; character. With the ARC JavaScript compiler, it is not mandatory to do it, but you will find most code examples will have the semicolon at the end of the line.

Examples

EZ-Script Example 

Code:

print("This is some text")
print("This is another line of text")

JavaScript Example

Code:

print("This is some text");
print("This is another line of text");

*Note: Notice the semicolon at the end of the lines in JavaScript. Again, it's not mandatory, but it is recommended for proper JavaScript compliance.

Why Semicolons?

Traditionally, a semicolon has been common across many programming languages to tell the compiler the end of the command. This is because many commands can be included on the same line with JavaScript. It is not recommended to do this because it is messy to read, but some people program this way.

Example Of Many Commands On One Line

Code:

print("Hello"); print("World");
