Sequential Composition

body ; body
Semantics
Will execute the code before the sequential composition, ;, and then (if this terminates) will execute the code after the sequential composition.
Note: Unlike many imperative languages, all blocks must be terminated by a form of composition (sequential or parallel.)
Examples
var a:=12 ; a:=99
In the above example variable a is declared to be equal to 12, after this the variable is then modified to hold the value of 99.
function1() ; function2()
In the second example function1 will execute and then after (if it terminates) the function function2 will be called.
