Should I write it in 1 or 2 sentences in this case?


Hi,


Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Someone suggests that itis compulsory to write a comma after "for example", is it true?




Sentence1:

I have a lot of achievements, for example 90 points in exam A, 80 points in exam B and 70 points in exam C.



Sentence2:

I have a lot of achievements. For example, 90 points in exam A, 80 points in exam B and 70 points in exam C.



Thanks
