Although only one statement per line is allowed, a long statement can span multiple lines if an underscore " _" preceded by a blank is placed at the end of a "broken" line. String definition cannot be split in several lines, concatenation need to be
used.
The semicolon (;) is the comment character. Unless the semicolon is within a string, all text following it is ignored by the script interpreter/compiler.
You can combine underscore and semicolon to put comments on lines and still have a long statement span on next line.
