strict mode in javascript modules code example

Example 1: strict mode in javascript

/*
even though x is not defined with a keyword like var, let or const, the
browser won't throw an error
*/
x = 1;

function myFunc() {
  "use strict";
  
  /*
  this will throw an error as y is being assigned a value without it 
  being declared AND "use strict" has been used for the function
  */
  y = 4;
}

/*
Basically, "use strict" is a way for programmers to avoid bad habits by using
invalid syntax which browsers accept but is still wrong
*/

Example 2: strict mode

Strict mode makes several changes to normal JavaScript semantics:
-Eliminates some JavaScript silent errors by changing them to throw errors.
-Fixes mistakes that make it difficult for JavaScript engines to perform 
optimizations: strict mode code can sometimes be made to run faster than 
identical code that's not strict mode.
-Prohibits some syntax likely to be defined in future versions of ECMAScript.
