Statement
REM
Inserts a remark line in a program.
REM instructs the computer to ignore the rest of the program
line, which lets you insert remarks in your program for docu-
mentation. Thus, when you look at a listing of your program, you
can quickly interpret it.
If
REM is used in
a
multistatement program line, it must be the
last statement in the line.
You may use an apostrophe
(' 1
as an abbreviation for REM.
