Not quite.  A compound statement does not end in a semicolon and need
not be immediately followed by another statement.

And I think you may have misstated that last clause.  For example, in

    if (condition) x = 42;

the statement `x = 42;` doesn't follow the if statement.  It's part of
the if statement.
