Introduction

A computer program consists of a list of instructions called statements. JavaScript executes these statements one by one in the exact order they are written. Each statement usually performs one specific action.

Example

Example
1/* this runs four statements */
2let x;
3x = 5;
4let y = 6;
5let z = x + y;

Key Points

  • Statements form the program instructions.
  • Semicolons separate multiple statements.
  • JavaScript runs them sequentially.
  • Code blocks group multiple statements together.
