7. Is it possible to break JavaScript Code into several lines?
Breaking within a string statement can be done by using a backslash, ‘\,’ at the end of the first line.
Example:
document. Write ("This is \a program,");And if you change to a new line when not within a string statement, then javaScript ignores the break in the line.
Example:
var x=1, y=2,
z=
x+y;The above code is perfectly fine, though not advisable as it hampers debugging.
