The M syntax allows multiple commands to appear on a line, grouped into procedures (subroutines) in a fashion similar to most structured programming systems.
In MUMPS syntax, some spaces are significant; they are not merely whitespace. There are contexts in which a pair of spaces has a different syntactic significance than a single space. However, extra spaces (in this context not syntactically significant) may always be added between commands for clarity, up to the line length limit in an implementation. Lines are syntactically significant, and carriage returns and linefeeds are not treated as white space; they are statement/function terminators. There is no requirement to put semicolons at the end of commands, and lines may be explicitly continued when needed.
