Hello, first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this post and answer it. What I don't understand is when do we put }); and when just this }. in this code for example.
$(document).ready(function () {
$.getJSON('../data/rooms.json', function(test) {
var ul = '<ul class="rooms">';
$.each(test, function (index, rooms) {
if (rooms.available === true) {
ul += '<li class="empty">';
} else {
ul += '<li class="full">';
}
ul += rooms.room + '</li>';
});
ul += '</ul>';
$('#roomList').html(ul);
});
});

You have three different things there, first a close brace "}" which would end a code block started with an open brace "{", then a close parentheses ")" which would likewise end an argument list or other group of things started with an open parenthesis "(", and finally a semicolon ";" which indicates the end of a statement.
It probably just looks funny having these on a separate line and pressed together, for example this:
btn.on( "click", function () { alert("Hi"); } );
... is the same thing as this:
btn.on("click", function () {
alert("Hi");
});
That last line is the end of the anonymous function definition, the end of the argument set for "on", and the end of the statement.

8,859 PointsAw something else I don't think you understood what I didn't know my bad, didn't explain it very well. I understand what you explained up there but what I don't understand is when we put this }); and when we put this } Now you are gonna tell me when you open an parenthesis, but in the code provided it haves for example this code:
which doesn't have an opened parenthesis, why ?
