Chapter 2, Problem 1RQE

Every complete statement ends with a _____.

Program Description Answer

C++ statement ends with “semicolon (“;”)”.

Explanation of Solution

Semicolon (;):

Semicolon is a type of command in C++.

• The semicolon is used to indicate to the compiler that the command ends here.
• Semicolon is used as delimiter in C++ to intentionally separate a command from the following C++ command.
• If a semicolon is missed in any of the statements, then the program produces an error.

Example for the purpose of Semicolon (;):

//Declare and initialize the variables

double value1 = 28;

double value2 = 32;

double value3 = 37;

The above three variable declaration statements are all individual commands separated by the semicolon.
