Can an Apex statement use more than one line?

I have a few long lines of code that I need to wrap onto 2 lines rather than just using one line.  Is there a statement continuation character or something that will let me do that?

 

Thanks,

 

Doug

Whitespace (including newlines) are generally ignored in Apex.  The following statements are all identical:

 

 

List<account> accs = [select id, name from account];

List<account>
  accs = [select id, name from account];

List<account> accs =
  [select id,
          name
   from
          account];

most types can.  for instance, string concatenation

 

string blah = 'testing' +

'some more testing';

 

AFAIK, there's no character to clue that in, it either works or doesn't.
