Why is the semicolon not required but allowed at the end of a class definition?

Question

I\'m trying to shift from C++ to Java.

What I wonder is, in C++, after a class definition, a semicolon (;) is required, but in Java it isn\'t.

Answer 1

I think this is a followed style which inherites from C:

struct A
{ 
    unsigned a;
    unsigned b;
};

Or you can use:

struct A
{ 
    unsigned a;
    unsigned b;
}A1,A2;
