Por que o java 5 aceita colocar tantos “;” no meio do código ?
Olhe e teste o exemplo abaixo.
public class Operadores {
public static void main(String... args) {
byte b1 = 5;;;;; ; ; ; ; ;; ;
byte b2 = 10;;;;;; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
; ; ; ; ; ;
System.out.println(b1 +" - "+ b2);
}
}
Este código compila perfeitamente e printa “5 - 10”.
Qualquer versão do java aceita isso. Na verdade o que você está fazendo é enchendo de comandos vazios. Cada vírgula é um marcador de fim de comando, então se você deixar vazio entre uma vírgula e outra, então o que acontece é que você está colocando um comando vazio que simplesmente não faz nada.
hum…
eu ja tinha visto isso antes, mas não me lembrava porque o java aceita este tipo de código.
valeu pela ajuda.
Qual a finalidade colocar esse monde de ponto-e-virgulas?!
Vc queria testar algo?! :?:
é pra ter certeza que não vai dar erro de compilação… hehehehe…
:idea:
huahuahauhua… gostei da resposta Kabah! 
Agora, por que isto funciona? Diga o que este programa faz(Copie o código seguinte para um arquivo “Exercicio.java”, compile-o, e rode-o com “java -cp . Exercicio”).
