Commodore PET - Rem

READ is generally executed in program mode. It can be executed in immedi-
ate mode
as long as there are corresponding DATA constants in the current
stored program to
read from.
Examples:
REM
10 DATA 1,2,3
20
READ A,B,C
150
READ C$,D,F$
160 DATA
ST~
170 DATA 14.5,"TM"
On completion, A=l
B=2
C=3
On completion, C$="STR"
0=14.5
F$="TM"
The Remark statement (REM) allows comments to be placed in the program
for program documentation purposes.
Format:
REM comment
where:
comment
is any sequence of characters.
PET BASIC ignores Remark statements other than reproducing them in pro-
gram listings. Remark statements may
be placed in the path of program execu-
tion, and they may
be branched to. A Remark statement is terminated only by a
RETURN (end of line). A Remark statement may be placed on a line of its own:
100
REM comment
or it may
be placed as the last statement on a multiple-statement line:
100
A=6+B:IF A>10 THEN 20:REM comment
A Remark cannot
be placed ahead of any other statements on a multiple-
statement line, since anything after a
REM to the end of the line is treated as a
comment.

treated as part of remark t ~d
REM is intended for program mode usage to document a stored program. It
may be given in immediate mode.
Examples:
10 REM **** * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * ***
20 REM ***PROGRAM EXCALlBUR***
30
GOTO 55:REM BRANCH IF OUT OF DATA
