The semicolon is a punctuation mark used to connect independent clauses; it indicates a closer relation than does a period.
For example:
Jane's birthday was yesterday; she turned ten.
In the example above, the two independent clauses could be used as separate sentences. A period separating them would be grammatically correct but a semi-colon can be used to indicate a closer relation between the clauses if one wishes.

When to use a semicolon?
Semicolons are for when you're feeling to lazy to put ", and". Also if you've already used ", and" in your sentence. Could lead to sentence overcomplexity if you aren't careful. Examples: I picked her up from work today; she hadn't changed. I picked her up from work today, and she was still angry; she hadn't changed.
Program for generate multiples of 9 upto 500 using PYTHON?
In order to display multiples of 9 up to 500 I would use a while loop with the condition number < 500. For example: #set number to the first multiple of 9 number = 9; while number < 500: print number; #add 9 to the number number += 9; Note: I put semicolons at the end of each line out of habit. Python does not require this. Note: lines beginning with # are comments The above code will print the current value of number, then add 9 to it. It will continue to do this until number is greater than or equal to 500.
Are you supposed to leave 2 spaces after a semicolon?
In manual typing, two spaces were generally required after full stops and colons, but now, especially with the advent of electronic and computer-based composition, inserting only one space has become a common convention. Semicolons then, as now, can be followed by one or two spaces. More often than not, only one space is used. For more information, see Related links below.
