The guidelines for writing JavaScript code examples on are aimed at ensuring that the examples are concise and understandable by as many people as possible. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

1. Conciseness: Code examples should be kept as short and focused as possible. Avoid including unnecessary code or complex logic that may distract or confuse readers.
2. Clarity: Make sure your code examples are easy to understand. Use clear and descriptive variable and function names, and comment your code when necessary to provide additional explanations.
3. Readability: Format your code consistently and use proper indentation. This helps readers follow the code structure and improves readability.
4. Best Practices: Follow established best practices when writing JavaScript code. This includes using meaningful variable names, avoiding global variables, and using appropriate control structures.
5. Cross-Browser Compatibility: Consider the compatibility of your code examples across different web browsers. If there are browser-specific considerations, mention them in the example or provide alternative solutions.
6. Error Handling: Handle potential errors and exceptions in your code examples. This helps readers understand how to handle errors and provides a more robust example.
7. Documentation: Include comments or annotations in your code examples to explain the purpose and functionality of the code. This helps readers understand the code’s intention and usage.
