COMMENTS

Comments Program Structure

Purpose Comments can be placed anywhere in a program. A comment must be preceded by a

semicolon (;). Any text on the line following a semicolon is ignored by the compiler.

Comments can be on the same line of a program as an instruction, or put on a separate

line.

Syntax ;

Remarks There is no such thing as too many comments in a program. For maintainability of

your program we recommend having a comment on almost every line of your pro-

gram. Major functions within a program should also have comments explaining the

purpose and methods used. In addition, there should be comments that identify the

author, creation date, revision dates, and descriptions of changes.

The compiler limits the number of characters per line to 100. Characters over this

number are truncated. This number of characters is adequate for programming pur-

poses, but it may prove insufficient for lengthy comments. In cases such as this, one or

more additional lines composed solely of commentary may be added.
