Why does ng-blur has semi-colon and ng-change doesn't?

For "Using ng-change to set data state" video, I noticed that in the html template, ng-blur="editing = false;" has a semi-colon (;) while ng-change="todo.edited = true" doesn't. Why is that?

The semi-colon is only to separate assignments, if you have only one statement the semicolon should not affect and you can choose to put it or not. Remember that you can add multiple assignments thanks to the use of semicolons to ng-blur and ng-change. eg.

<input ng-change="myVar=2;  mySecondVar=3"  ng-blur="myVar=23; mySecondVar=45" >

hope this helps =)
