=== Code examples

==== Noncompliant code example

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
void doSomething() {
  ; // Noncompliant - was used as a kind of TODO marker
}

void doSomethingElse() {
  System.out.println("Hello, world!");; // Noncompliant - double ;
  // ...
}
----

==== Compliant solution

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
void doSomething() {}

void doSomethingElse() {
  System.out.println("Hello, world!");
  // ...
  for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) ; // Compliant if unique statement of a loop
  // ...
}
