Error on line 5: missing operand; found else... what does it mean?
this is the code var isDivisible = function (x, y) { if (x % 3 === y);{ return true }; else { return false };

The error is caused by misplaced use of semicolons. A well-formed if
statement looks like this:
if (condition) {
action-if-true;
} else {
action-if-false;
}
The whitespace is irrelevant (it just helps readability), but the semicolons (and where not to put them) are very important.
