See primary documentation in context for Statements

Raku programs consist of one or more statements. Simple statements are separated by semicolons. The following program will print "Hello" and then "World" on the next line.

say "Hello";
say "World";

In most places where spaces appear in a statement, and before the semicolon, they may be split up over many lines. Also, multiple statements may appear on the same line. It would be awkward, but the above example could also be written as:

say
"Hello"; say "World";
