  21 <p class="p2"><br></p>
  22 <p class="p3">A sequence of expressions separated by semicolons and optionally terminated by a semicolon are a single expression whose value is the value of the last expression. Such a sequence may be used anywhere that a normal expression may be used.</p>
  23 <p class="p2"><br></p>
  24 <p class="p4"><span class="s1">max( b = a * 2; b + 5,<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>10);<span class="Apple-tab-span">    </span></span>// computes the maximum of b+5 and 10</p>
  25 <p class="p2"><br></p>
  26 <p class="p3">In the above example, the sequence: <span class="s2">b = a * 2; b + 5 </span>acts as a single expression for the first argument to<span class="s2"> max()</span>.</p>
