Separators

Separators are used to inform the Java compiler of how things are grouped in the code. For example, items in a list are separated by commas much like lists of items in a sentence. The most commonly used separator in Java is the semicolon. As you have seen, it is used to terminate statements.

Symbol	Name	Purpose
;	Semicolon	Terminates statements.
,	Comma	Separates consecutive identifiers in a variable declaration. Also used to chain statements together inside a for statement.
{ }	Braces	Used to contain the values of automatically initialized arrays. Also used to define a block of code, for classes, methods, and local scopes.
( )	Parentheses	Used to contain lists of parameters in method definition and invocation. Also used for defining precedence in expressions, containing expressions in control statements. Also used for surrounding cast types.
[ ]	Brackets	Used to declare array types. Also used when differencing array values.
.	Period	Used to separate package names from sub packages and classes Also used to separate a variable or method from a reference variable.
