Key Changes Made

Used Strict Equality: While it’s not mandatory, changing == to === for comparisons is a good practice in JavaScript to avoid type coercion and ensure your comparisons are accurate.

Conclusion

Syntax errors can be frustrating, especially when you're excited to see your bot in action. By ensuring that all parts of your code are correctly structured, you can easily resolve issues like Unexpected end of input. Remember to always check your brackets and practice using strict equality in your comparisons.

Happy coding, and may your bots thrive on Discord!
