Remarks

Parameters: NONE

Returns: NONE

Remarks allow you to add comments your programs. Since comments are ignored by the compiler, we can use remarks to provide a better description of what our program is doing.

PlayBASIC supports single line remarks and block remarks. Block remarks consist of keywords or symbol pairs that indicate the start and the end of a comment block.

The following keywords and symbols are used to remark your code:

Single Line Remarks

     ;

     `

     //

Block Remarks
