                 JavaScript  engine,  which  interprets  and

                 executes  JavaScript  code.  We use  the semicolon  to  terminate  a statement;  however,  if the
                 statements are written in separate lines, then the semicolon can be omitted.
                 JavaScript statements consist of keywords, variables, operators, expressions and comments.
                 Let us learn about them in detail.

                 KEYWORDS

                 A keyword is a reserved word that has a special meaning for the JavaScript interpreter. Some of
                 the keywords of JavaScript are:
                                         var,  switch,  let,  for, const,  function,  if,  return, etc.

                 VARIABLES

                 A variable is the name of storage location. It stores a value that can be modified later. JavaScript
                 is a loosely typed language which means it does not require a data type to be declared before
                 using it. The syntax to declare a variable in JavaScript is:

                 var <variable name> = <value>;
                 where var is a keyword, <variable name> is a valid name for the variable and <value> is the value
                 that you want to assign to the variable.
