Every statement in Java must end with a semicolon as per the basics. However, unlike other languages, almost all statements in Java can be treated as expressions. However, there are a few scenarios when we can write a running program without semicolons. If we place the statement inside an if/for statement with a blank pair of parentheses, we don’t have to end it with a semicolon. Also, calling a function that returns void will not work here as void functions are not expressions.
Methods:
- Using if-else statements
- Using append() method of StringBuilder class
- Using equals method of String class
Method 1: Using if statement
// Java program to Print Hello World Without Semicolon
// Using if statement
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Using if statement to
// print hello world
if (System.out.printf("Hello World") == null) {
}
}
}
Output
Hello World
Method 2: Using append() method of StringBuilder class
// Java Program to Print Hello World Without Semicolon
// Using append() method of String class
// Importing required classes
import java.util.*;
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Using append() method to print statement
if (System.out.append("Hello World") == null) {
}
}
}
Output
Hello World
Method 3: Using equals method of String class
// Java Program to Print Hello World Without Semicolon
// Using equals() method of String class
// Importing required classes
import java.util.*;
// Main class
class GFG {
// Main driver method
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Using equals() method to print statement
if (System.out.append("Hello World").equals(null)) {
}
}
}
Output
Hello World
