Unterminated statement

Reports a statement without a semicolon or a newline at the end.

Select the 'Terminate statements with semicolons' option in Editor | Code Style | JavaScript or TypeScript - Punctuation to report any statement that doesn't end with a semicolon, even if a newline is used. According to some coding styles, semicolons are preferred to line-breaks for consistency with the other languages.
