Semicolons and Comments in C language:
Semicolons are very important in C programming language. They are used as terminators.
They are used to terminate a statement. They are used at the end of every statement. You will get an error if you forget to add semicolon at the end of every statement.

In C program, the semicolon is a statement terminator. That is, each individual statement must be ended with a semicolon. It indicates the end of one logical entity.
For example, following are two different statements:
printf("Hello, World! \n"); return 0;
Comments are used in C language for better understanding of the program. Comments are like helping text in your C program and they are ignored by the compiler. They start with /* and terminates with the characters */ as shown below:
/* my first program in C */
