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.

C# End of Statement

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

Syntax Example:

Console.WriteLine("Hello1");
Console.WriteLine("Hello2");  
Console.WriteLine("Hello3");
 
//Same line works too:
Console.WriteLine("Hello4");  Console.WriteLine("Hello5");

//Two or more lines works too: 
Console.

  WriteLine
    ("Hello6");
