    Take someone’s source code, replace all semi colons with Greek question marks and see if they can compile. But as others said, any IDE will help.

        Just the last one, right before the EOF.

        Speaking of EOF, I wonder what a heredoc might do with this 😇

      You’re just going to get syntax errors though

        Not if you choose to replace the correct ones at the correct place and it is a compiler which automatically ignores this wrong semicolon.

        You could connect two lines, which may still “work” if not split using a semicolon and are then interpreted as one single line.

        You are right … but, you’re not thinking big enough.

        Think … sticky tape on the bottom of a mouse.
