I have no idea what ; is in python. I saw people using 

print(x) ; print(y)

But I don't see a document that explains this. I want a document that explains this.

    Seeing as you want a document, here is a link to the official docs - [Compound statements](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html): `A suite can be one or more semicolon-separated simple statements on the same line as the header, following the header’s colon, or it can be one or more indented statements on subsequent lines.` – BoobyTrap Dec 10 '18 at 08:20
