27,192 PointsQuestion regarding semi-colons
I'm a little confused with why there is a semi-colon at the end of the brackets. Can somebody explain why we use one here but not normally? Thanks in advance.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Program
{
public Func<int, int> Square = delegate(int number)
{
return number * number;
};
public Action<int, Func<int, int>> DisplayResult = delegate(int result, Func<int, int> operation)
{
Console.WriteLine(operation(result));
};
}
}

").
So the brackets enclose the bodies of the functions, but the semicolons terminate the assignment statements.
