Extra semicolons (``++;++``) are usually introduced by mistake, for example because: * It was meant to be replaced by an actual statement, but this was forgotten. * There was a typo which lead the semicolon to be doubled, i.e. ``++;;++``. * There was a misunderstanding about where semicolons are required or useful. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- var x = 1;; // Noncompliant function foo() { }; // Noncompliant ---- == Compliant Solution ---- var x = 1; function foo() { } ---- include::../see.adoc[]
