Why don't you add a semicolon for the i variable counter at the end?

I noticed that at the end of the for loop that you don't include a semicolon for the "i" counter variable. However, you add a semicolon after each one that comes before.... why?

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i+=) {
   *code*;
}

It's redundant. The () represent the beginning and end of the code statement. A semicolon is used to separate each expression. the last expression doesn't need a semicolon because there is nothing else in the statement.

Sorry, I wasn't clear on that. I'm referring to JavaScript for loops.
