alert("Hello");

["World"].forEach(alert);

No need to think about the meaning of the brackets `[]` and `forEach` yet. We'll study them later. For now, just remember the result of running the code: it shows `Hello`, then `World`.

Now let's remove the semicolon after the `alert`:
|
||||
|
||||
```js run no-beautify
|
||||
alert("Hello")
|
||||
|
||||
["World"].forEach(alert);
|
||||
[1, 2].forEach(alert);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The difference compared to the code above is only one character: the semicolon at the end of the first line is gone.
|
||||
|
||||
If we run this code, only the first `Hello` shows. There are no numbers any more.

If we run this code, only the first `Hello` shows (and then you may see the error, but it may also be hidden). There are no numbers any more.
|
||||
|
||||
The difference is because JavaScript does not assume a semicolon before square brackets `[...]`. And, as there's no semicolon, the code in the first example is treated as a single statement.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how the engine sees it:
|
||||
|
||||
```js run no-beautify
|
||||
alert("Hello")["World"].forEach(alert)
|
||||
alert("Hello")[1, 2].forEach(alert)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Looks weird, right? Such merging in this case is just wrong. We need to put a semicolon after `alert` for the code to work correctly.
