';' expected.ts(1005) in Javascript

Question

I was creating a redirect function named redirect() and when I open the curly brackets it shows an error saying

';' expected.ts(1005)

Any reason? I'm not sure what ts(1005) means so I don't know what to do.

The error fixes when I put a semicolon but then in the browser, it shows an error saying

Uncaught TypeError: redirect is not a function at HTMLInputElement.onclick

Although it could be a different error. (Solve if you can please) Thanks

Answer 1

If you want to define a function, place the keyword function before redirect() .
A ; is expected because without function the browser thinks it is a function .。
(Is 1005 the line number?)
