java语句前加分号无法编译,为什么for语句后的分号会导致编译错误？

For my Java class, we are asked to add a semicolon to a working for statement and explain why the output is what it is. I don't understand why adding the semicolon creates an erroneous tree type error resulting in the code being unable to compile. Below the code is the output; I have also added backslashes to the any tag because it wasn't displaying otherwise. So, why does a semicolon after a for statement cause such an error? Thanks in advance.

package fordemo;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ForDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) {

{

Scanner user_input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Input a number:");

int number = user_input.nextInt();

for (int n = 1; n <= number; n += 2) ;

System.out.print(n + " ");

}

}

}

run:

Input a number:

9

You're teminating the for-loop with a ;...for (int n = 1; n <= number; n += 2);

Try something more like...

for (int n = 1; n <= number; n+=2 ) {

System.out.print(n + " ");

}
