Control statements
Write control statements like this:
if(iceCream) {
alert('Woo hoo!');
}
Not this:
if (iceCream){
alert('Woo hoo!');
}
Also bear in mind:
- There should be no space between a control statement keyword and its opening parenthesis.
- There should be a space between the parentheses and the opening curly brace.
