Why doesn't JavaScript require semicolons after function declarations? -


this question has answer here:

a student asked me why javascript requires semicolons after variable declarations not after function declarations , didn't have answer.

for example, these variable declarations (including 1 holding function) followed semicolons...

var x = 5; var test = function() { return null; };

but function declaration has no semicolon afterwards nor should it. why? logic behind differentiation? why variable assignment require semicolon function declaration not?

function test {     return null; }

semicolons serve separate statements each other, , functiondeclaration not statement.

(side note: core of problem entanglement of user input firing “expensive computations”. therefore, cannot separate both in 2 scripts, , letting 1 spawning other daemon.) the command screen may you. use screen -l create new session , run application. after inputting data, can press " ctrl-a " , press " d " on keyboard detach session. now...
