Wordpress while loop

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
            <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
            <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>


        <?php endwhile; else : ?>

            <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>

            <?php endif; ?>

what does the colon mean in the if statement. I'm confused about that. I never used it syntax before.
