Do we need a semicolon after function declaration? [duplicate]

Answer 1

To the browser, it doesn't matter. For matter of semantics, it only matters if you're prototyping a function or using the function statement.

function stuff(stuff) {
     alert(stuff);
} //don't need a semicolon

Object.prototype.stuff = function(stuff) {
    alert(stuff);
}; //need a semicolon
var stuff = function(stuff) {
    alert(stuff);
}; //need a semicolon
