classes

[lakshmi suji]

in classes syntax at the last can we give a semicolon
if we give then will it show any error or not?
ex:
class Example
{
};

[ganesh pol]

why don't u compile it and see by the way i think u are talking about anonymus classes

[Philip Heller]

The class definition ends at the closing curly bracket. The compiler thinks the semicolon marks the end of an empty statement. So you could even have:

  
class Example
{
};;;;;;;;;;

which is a class definition followed by 10 empty statements.

The class is not necessarily inner.

[Stan James]

Empty statements are almost always perfectly harmless.

I heard of a shop where programmers were rated by lines of code per month. The program that counted lines was not very smart, and people started decorating comment blocks like:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
// Method: arf                                                    ;;;;;;;;
// Input: blah blah blah                                          ;;;;;;;;
// Output: blah blah blah                                         ;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
