16. Javascript Language Basics

17. General Rules JS is case sensitive. JS is case sensitive. Sum = n1 + n2; // These statements are different sum = N1 + N2; Sum = n1 + n2; // These statements are different sum = N1 + N2; Statements end with a semicolon. Statements end with a semicolon. today = new Date(); today = new Date(); Comments Comments // This form is for short comments to end of line // This form is for short comments to end of line /* This form of delimiters can span several lines of comments. */ /* This form of delimiters can span several lines of comments. */
