Quick Answer

Fix statement termination issues.

Understanding the Issue

Occurs when compiler expects statement terminator. Common causes include incomplete statements, mismatched parentheses, or unterminated literals.

The Problem

This code demonstrates the issue:

Java Error 
int x = 5 // Missing semicolon
System.out.println(x)

The Solution

Here's the corrected code:

Java Fixed 
// Correct termination
int x = 5;
System.out.println(x);

// Complex statements
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    System.out.println(i);
} // Semicolon optional after blocks

// Multiline statements
String s = "Hello "
         + "World"; // One semicolon

Key Takeaways

All statements must be properly terminated.
