Semicolon

A symbol found on the computer keyboard that looks like a period above a comma ( ; ), which is found on the same key as the colon on the standard United States QWERTY keyboard. The semicolon is used a lot in computer programming to finish a instruction. For example, in the below print statement the trailing semicolon lets the programming interpreter that it is the end of the line.

print "Hello world!";
