why do we need the token ;?

Question

I do not know why we need the token ; in C/C++ and Java to compile you're code,
btw I do not like the token ;,
also It's annoying to type.

Answer 1

When you toss all whitespace (spaces, tabs, and end of lines), you need to have something to tell you the current statement is complete and not 20 blank lines in the future. This:
int x=3;x++;int y=x*20;
is identical to:
int

x
=

3

;
x
++
;
int
y
=
x
*
20
;
