# ; reserved character

The ; (semicolon) reserved character
separates multiple FlashBASIC or BASIC statements on a single line.

## Syntax

```
statement {; statement...}
```

## Description

A FlashBASIC or BASIC statement
can end with a semicolon because it allows null or blank lines in
a program.

Note: Multiple complex statements on a single line
can be difficult to read.

## Example(s)

This shows multiple statements
on a single line.

```
x = 10 ; y = 15 ; z = x * y ; crt z
```
This shows a `for...next` loop on the same
line.

```
for i=1 to 9; crt field(s,’ ’,i); next i
```
