REM [comment] ' [comment]
The REM
keyword is used to include explanatory remarks in the source code of a program.
In the text of any comment you want to include, that is optional, a space is required
between the REM
keyword and comment.
You can put a REM
statement alone on a line, or you can put it on a line following
another statement . The REM
statement must be the last statement on the line. If it follows
another statement, the REM
must be separated from that statement by a colon (:
).
You can use a single quotation mark (') instead of REM
. This is true whether your comment follows
another statement on the same line or sits alone on a line. However, you cannot continue a
REM
statement by using a line-continuation sequence (_
). This means that, for a multiple-line
comment, you need to use as many REM
s statements as the lines you comment.
REM this is a comment ' and this is a comment PRINT "ok": REM I am printing ok
