Remark Statements
Remark statements are used to include a programmer's
comments within a program . It is good programming practice to
include num erous Remark statements in your programs. Not
only do Remark statements make your programs easier for
others to understand, they also help you remember your
program 's logic.
Remark statements consist of a line number, the reserved word
REM, a nd the programmer's comment. An example of a Remark
statement is given below .
100
REM Initiali ze I to 0
Remark statements are ignor ed by the Atari BASIC interpreter,
but are included in program listings.
