What difference would we notice if we deleted the semi-colon (;) from the end of the line x = x ∗ 2?

I'm curious, why didn't you try it? You would have seen the difference immediately.

Simple...every time the output will be printed on the screen. It will be annoying and your code spents extra time to print it. ; will terminate the output print on the screen.
This you can check on your own...

The semi-colon(;) is use to restrict the output being shown every time on the Command Window when your code runs. Thus, there will be no difference in the answer but the intermediate step will always be seen.
