Rules Round Up - Doubt - Errada?

[raja kanak]

Please check question number #154, it says
(#154) Assuming all variables are declared and initialized properly, will this compile?
for(i=1;k<5;j++){};
Options:
yes
No

I select "No" because of the semicolon at the end. But the applet says the answer is "Yes".

I guess that semicolon should be removed from the question. Am i right?

where java ends!

semicolon endsline after the empty braces

Assuming all variables are declared and initialized properly, will this compile?

Well, if you put this line of code, along with all variables, declared and initialized properly, does it compile?

It takes less than a minute to actually try it out.

This is called communication gap :roll:
I want to mention the typo in Rules Roundup. thats it.
With semicolon - error
Without semicolon - no problem.
Once again I want to mention the typo in Rules Roundup. thats it

But I don't think it is a typo. One of the points of the question is that it's possible to have an extra ';' in code, and it doesn't cause any error. In this case it doesn't create any problem at all - it's just an empty statement, legal just about anywhere.

This code will compile with (or without) the semicolon.

Why do you think that the semicolon will cause an error?

Sorry for my mistake. You are right. The code compiles with (or without) semicolon.

But in case of enum it is mentioned about semicolon. I don't find any mention about semicolon regarding if statement in K&B book. That's why I confused.

Hey raja kanak


Will this compile:?

public class Javier {
public static void main(String[] args) {
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
System.out.println("Hello World");;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;
}

}

I think you should better try the code by yourself before posting or reporting errata.

I really feel shy. I am very sorry. I will definitely take extra care before posting any thing in future.

The code you mentioned compiled. that is terrific.

Anybody please conclude this topic by giving the clear rules regarding semicolon.
