No, but as in C, adding a semicolon to an assignment expression makes
it a statement, specifically an ExpressionStatement.  (Unlike C,
Java doesn't permit adding a semicolon to *any* expression to form
a statement, but an assignment is one of the subset of expressions
that can be used in an ExpressionStatement.)

If you're going to quibble about punctuation in a forum that may
not be familiar with the language you're discussing, it would be
helpful to mention what you're doing.
