Regarding code quality, I also strongly believe that the semicolon (or any other explicit statement separator) helps with readability, as it clearly communicates the end of the statement.

A statement is a unit of instruction (a line). In Java, that line ends with semicolon (;)

So, yes, in your case you don't have any declaration ( int i; ) or expressions statements in code before semicolon! There's a "blank line", and it's end with (;)

Most, but not all, Java statements must end with a semicolon.

The basic rule is that declaration and expression statements must end with a semicolon, but most other statement types do not.

--> You don't have any declaration or expression statements in you code!!
// before semicolon (;)

Answer 4

Semicolons simply terminate statements. Lines mean nothing to the javac compiler. Practicing proper indentation will make your code more readable, especially when your code blocks contain a lot of statements.
