Answer 1

hey i just noticed same is the case with cpp ide and many other languages too here.

quick tips: accept it as a feature and whenever you see this error just do lineNo-1.😅

Answer 2

Compiler search for semicolon till next valid token.. So it's found on line 4 without prevoius variable declaration closed.. So it saying Expected ; at line 4.
Check by adding semicolon just before like ; String a;

Answer 3

I think code is shorted and prepared before it is compiled, so compiler has different version eg without comments, empty lines, with rewritten Scanner command.

Answer 4

Yes that works. I'm sure there's some reason, maybe a package declaration we can't see. But it seems if you import a utility the line numbers match.

Answer 5

zemiak, I think that might be the case.
