Syntax

JavaScript has most of the features you'd expect from a general purpose high-level programming language:

• Variables & constants
• Comparison, logical, math, and bitwise operators
• For loops, while loops, break, continue
• If statements, switch statements
• Functions & lambdas
• Error handling

We'll cover some of the important/interesting/unusual features.

The syntax is generally similar to the C family of languages, so if you're not sure what to do, add parentheses around expressions and curly braces around blocks!
