The complex sentence refers to the sentence which contains at least one dependent clause and an independent clause. A dependent clause is the clause which cannot stand alone in its meaning on the other hand independent clause refers to the phrase which can stand alone, though both have a subject and a verb.
Therefore when the above sentence written in complex sentence it would be:
He saved the life of a girl, he was given a medal.
A sentence which contains two independent clauses with related ideas is referred to as a compound sentence.
One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with a semicolon and a coordinating conjunction.
Therefore, the above sentence when changed into compound sentence would be written as:
He was given a medal because he saved the life of a girl.
