Description
```
function yellIt(string) {
string = string.toUpperCase()
return makeMoreExciting(string)
}
```
That code has no semicolons. Well, it usually works, but not always:
```
a = 1 + 2
(3 + 4).toString()
```
Here is another (beautiful) example of that:
```
var a=3,b=3
[a,b]=[a*a,b*b]
console.log([a,b])
```
Another example:
```
x = 1 + 2
-1..toString()
```

I would suggest simply adding semicolons at the end of every statement. (Or, you could add a semicolon when they are needed. Though, explaining that would be more work and most likely would cause more screw ups)
