Why there is no semicolon at the end of the line static void main()

Answer 1

A semicolon is used to terminate a statement. If you terminate your main function right after calling it, the body wouldn't run. It won't even compile in the first place.

Taking for example:

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++);
{ //do something }

and

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{ // do something }

has totally different meaning.

Answer 2

SEMI-COLON ( ; ) is ONLY used to terminate a STATEMENT.

static void main() is a FUNCTION / METHOD in some languages and only has parentheses/brackets for parameters if they are required and then a pair of opening and closing braces / curly brackets { } for the body of the function / method.

Syntax:

void myFunction( ){

//Body

}

All functions / methods in any language are not terminated with/by a SEMI-COLON.

Answer 3

because Void Main is a Method from where he compiler starts compiling/executing your program.if you put semicolon/terminate your Main method then compiler won't execute your program and as a result it gives error
