#### 9.19.2.3 Special Characters

The presence of a ‘`#`’ on a line indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end of the current line. Note that if a line starts with a ‘`#`’ character then it can also be a logical line number directive (see Comments) or a preprocessor control command (see Preprocessing).

A semicolon (‘`;`’) can be used to separate multiple statements on the same line.
