Languages Focus: End of Statement

In coding languages, common End of statement specifiers include a semicolon and return (others exist too). Also of concern when studying a language is can you put two statements on a single code line and can you break a single statement into two or more code lines.

Delphi End of Statement

Object Pascal uses a semicolon ";" as an end of statement specifier and you can put multiple statements on a single line of code and put a single statement on two or more code lines if you wish.

Syntax Example:

WriteLn('Hello1');
WriteLn('Hello2');
WriteLn('Hello3');
 
//Same line works too:
WriteLn('Hello4');  WriteLn('Hello5');
 
//Two or more lines works too:
WriteLn
  ('Hello6');
