Executing this code produces the following output.

1 <B>Statement Separators</B>

2

3 <B>Description</B>

4 - The statement separators in Maple are semicolon (;) and colon (:).

5

6 - The semicolon is the normal statement separator.

7

8 - In an interactive Maple session, the result of the statement will

9   not be displayed if the statement is terminated with a colon.

10

11 - The two statement separators (semicolon and colon) are equivalent in

12   the case of statements nested one or more levels (inside if

13   -statements, do-statements, or procedures).

14

15 Important: When exporting a worksheet as Maple Input, your worksheet

16 must contain explicit semicolons and not auto-inserted ones. The

17 resulting exported .mpl file will not run in Command-line Maple with

18 auto-inserted semicolons.
