This check looks for variables that are declared in multiple lines. There may be several reasons for this.

In the simplest case the variable name was reused by mistake. This may lead to very hard to locate bugs.

If you want to reuse a variable for another purpose, consider declaring it at or near the top of your function and just assigning to it subsequently so it is always declared.

Consider adding curly braces around all statements when they are executed conditionally. This is optional if there is only one statement, but leaving them out can lead to unexpected behaviour if another statement is added later.

Consider:

if (a > 0)
    b = 42;

If you or someone else later decides to put another statement in, only the first statement will be executed.

if (a > 0)
    console.log("a > 0");
    b = 42;

In this case the statement b = 42 will always be executed, while the logging statement will be executed conditionally.

if (a > 0) {
    console.log("a > 0");
    b = 42;
}

ensures that the proper code will be executed conditionally no matter how many statements are added or removed.

The sequence or comma operator allows the inclusion of multiple expressions where only is permitted. The result of the sequence is the value of the last expression.

This operator is most often used in for statements.

Used in another places it can make code hard to read, especially when people do not realize it even exists as a seperate operator.

This check looks for usage of the sequence operator in locations where it is not necessary and could be replaced by a series of expressions or statements.

var a,b,c;

a = 1, b = 1,  c= 3;

could just as well be written as:

var a,b,c;

a = 1;
b = 1;
c = 3;

The sequence or comma operator allows the inclusion of multiple expressions where only is permitted. The result of the sequence is the value of the last expression.

This operator is most often used in for statements.

Used in another places it can make code hard to read, especially when people do not realize it even exists as a seperate operator.

This check looks for usage of the sequence operator in locations where it is not necessary and could be replaced by a series of expressions or statements.

var a,b,c;

a = 1, b = 1,  c= 3;

could just as well be written as:

var a,b,c;

a = 1;
b = 1;
c = 3;

Consider adding curly braces around all statements when they are executed conditionally. This is optional if there is only one statement, but leaving them out can lead to unexpected behaviour if another statement is added later.

Consider:

if (a > 0)
    b = 42;

If you or someone else later decides to put another statement in, only the first statement will be executed.

if (a > 0)
    console.log("a > 0");
    b = 42;

In this case the statement b = 42 will always be executed, while the logging statement will be executed conditionally.

if (a > 0) {
    console.log("a > 0");
    b = 42;
}

ensures that the proper code will be executed conditionally no matter how many statements are added or removed.

This check looks for variables that are declared in multiple lines. There may be several reasons for this.

In the simplest case the variable name was reused by mistake. This may lead to very hard to locate bugs.

If you want to reuse a variable for another purpose, consider declaring it at or near the top of your function and just assigning to it subsequently so it is always declared.

This check looks for functions where a return statement is found in some execution paths, but not in all.

Consider this little piece of code

function isBig(a) {
    if (a > 5000) {
        return "yes";
    }
}

console.log(isBig(5001)); //returns yes
console.log(isBig(42)); //returns undefined

The function isBig will only return a specific value when its parameter is bigger than 5000. In any other case, it will implicitly return undefined.

This behaviour may not be what you had intended. In any case, you can add a return undefined to the other execution path to make the return value explicit.
