I accidentally wrote a java statement with two semicolons at the end. The java compiler does not show any error and it runs.
Code:
System.out.println("Length after delete the text is "+name.length());;
For learning purposes I tried adding different characters after the semicolon, and the java compiler has shown the compile time error as Syntax error on token ")", delete this token.
This statement:
System.out.println("Length after delete the text is "+name.length());)
Why does java treat the semicolon and other characters as different?
解决方案
Because a double semicolon is not treated as a double semicolon but as a semicolon plus an empty statement. And an empty statement, which does nothing, is not an error.
