        Why is this an issue?

        Empty statements represented by a semicolon ; are statements that do not perform any operation. They are often the result of a typo or a misunderstanding of the language syntax. It is a good practice to remove empty statements since they don’t add value and lead to confusion and errors.

        Noncompliant code example

        func doSomething() {
          ;                                                       // Noncompliant
        }
        
        func doSomethingElse() {
          fmt.Println("doSomethingElse");;     // Noncompliant - double useless ;
          ...
        }
        

        Compliant solution

        func doSomething() {
        }
        
        func doSomethingElse() {
          fmt.Println("doSomethingElse")
          ...
        }
