Which of the following statements is correct?

A) Every statement in a program must end with a semicolon.

B) Every line in a program must end with a semicolon.

C) Every method must end with a semicolon.

D) Every comment line must end with a semicolon.

E) Every class must end with a semicolon

A

Explanation:

In Java, C++, C# programming languages every statement (executable statements must end with a semi-colon (; ). The semi-colon indicates an 'end of thought' and it is a compiler error to omit it.

Other languages like python and microsoft visual basic does not have this requirment.

So in java

System. out. println ("Hello World") / /will give a compiller error, missing semi-colon.

Note that this is different from option (B) in the question because not every line of code ends with a semi-colon for example a line declaring a method or a comment line cannot end with a semi-colon.
