Description:
REM causes the rest of a program line to be treated as a programmer’s remark or
comment for the sake of the program readability and future program maintenance.
The remark statements are non-executable.
• Difference in description between syntax 1 and syntax 2:
The keyword REM cannot begin in the first column of a program line. When fol-lowing
any other statement, REM should be separated from it with a colon (:).
An apostrophe ('), which may be replaced for keyword REM, can begin in the first
column. When following any other statement, an apostrophe (') requires no colon (:) as
a delimiter.
• You can branch to a REM statement labeled by the GOTO or GOSUB statement. The
control is transferred to the first executable statement following the REM statement.
