About Java Class

Hi, May I ask whenever I create a Java Class can I put a semicolon after the curly bracket? for example:

class House { // code in here };

This compiles successfully in the terminal, but does it consider a bad practice? My first language is C++. Thanks so much.

Adding a semicolon at the end of class declarations has no effect on the code. It is merely a syntax choice. If you feel more comfortable using it to keep consistency between C++ and Java go ahead. I think its adoption was to have a familiar feel for C++ programmers.
