Why doesn't the if statement have ;

Answer 1

(as no language is mentioned so I am assuming it to be C/C++ )

Ans :-
This is because semicolon is used to show the termination of one statement and while using *if-else* statment we generally execute a group of statements which are enclosed in braces"{ }" where "{" marks the beginning of the group and "}" marks the end.

Same is in the case of loops also
