Freecodecamp: Using typeof challenge requires semicolons to be correct

Challenge Name

Issue Description

In the Using typeof challenge, if one were to submit:

console.log(typeof "")

console.log(typeof 0)

console.log(typeof [])

console.log(typeof {})

However, if semicolons were added:

console.log(typeof "");

console.log(typeof 0);

console.log(typeof []);

console.log(typeof {});

Then all the tests are passed. Javascript does not require semicolons therefore this is simply complicating the challenge for users who do not use semicolons.

I submitted a PR for this. It should now work as intended.

Thanks for reporting this bug @ChrisBrownie55!

The challenge has been removed in the beta, but there is still a challenge about typeof. It also requires a semicolon. We don't need to enforce that here.
