Semicolon after while in do-while statement

[irateturbulent]

Hello,

Is it mandatory to have the semicolon after while in do-while statement. I read it some where & it says it's not mandatory but when i don't give it i am getting compilation error.
So is there any code example to clarify my doubt?

Thanks in advance!

Did you use the command line to test? Please post the code the code that you tried and that didn't compile.

Yes, the semicolon after `while` in a `do-while` statement is mandatory in Java. Without it, the code will not compile.
