Question

I had this question about arrays in JavaScript.
I couldn’t really find an answer. maybe i din look harder, i did look hard enough. or maybe i missed it in the book i am using as my reference.

I had an array and tried to push in quotes.

    var quotes =[];
    quotes.push("It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded 
    our humanity - Albert Einstein") /*i placed it on the second line to make 
                                       it more readable*/

This gave me an error. it did not state what error it was. I was going crazy thinking what could it be? i mean, what could i be missing in these 2 lines of code.

Then i placed it all on the same line and guess what, yes no more error. =_=

Can someone enlighten me on why? Or am i missing out on the obvious here.

Any response appreciated.
Thank you

Try:

var quotes =[];
quotes.push("It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded \
    our humanity - Albert Einstein");
