1 REM remark
Abbreviations: none
Purpose
The
REM
verb is used to include comments in a program.
Use
Often it is useful to include explanatory comments in a program. These can provide titles, names of authors, dates of last
modification, usage notes, reminders about algorithms used, etc. These comments are included by means of the
REM
statement.
The
REM
statement has no effect on the program execution and can be included anywhere in the program. Everything following
the
REM
verb in that line is treated as a comment, so the
REM
verb must be the last statement in a line when multiple statement
lines are used.
Examples
10 REM THIS LINE HAS NO EFFECT.
