# for loop dead code in java

I'm getting a [dead code](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304022/define-dead-code-elimination-and-its-working) [warning](https://answers.mindstick.com/blog/77/psychological-risks-of-ai-chatbots-what-experts-are-warning-about) in a [for loop](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12568/android-for-loop-not-working-in-main-thread) at i++. Why do I get that, and how do I [solve this problem](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94681/my-google-assistant-shows-completely-different-search-results-from-what-i-ask-how-can-i-solve-this-problem)?\

```
public static boolean Method(int p) {    for(int i = 2; i < p; i++) {  // here is the problem, at i++        if(p % i == 0);                     return false;    }    return true;    }
```

[Problem](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81399/tackling-the-problem-of-unemployment-during-corona-pandemic) is in this line:\

```
if(p % i == 0); 
```

Remove semicolon and try again
