Comments are the parts of the code which is ignored by the compiler. The " ; " is used to tell the compiler that the statement is closed. In The comments there is the closing by itself so you don't need to use " ; "..

The programme ignores all the comments, so they're only used to inform someone, who is looking at the code about what it is supposed to do, or to write down other useful informations.
