;

The semi colon (";") is a symbol used either to separate items or to indicate the end of a statement. The compiler uses them to understand what you are trying to accomplish. For example, if you initialize a two-dimensional array, the items in each dimension are separated by commas, but the dimensions are separated by semicolons.

A semicolon is required to be used after each statement, except:
 * Before an end statement, the semicolon is optional.
 * Before am else statement, the semicolon is forbidden.
