REM or an apostrophe is used for programmer remarks, comments or to stop the execution of program code.


Syntax

REM program comment or ignore code


Description

  • Comments cannot be read by QBasic correctly and may cause syntax and other errors without REM!
  • Instead of REM you can use the Template:KW symbol which can be put anywhere.
  • Code can also be commented out for program testing purposes.
  • QBasic Metacommands such as Template:KW and Template:KW require the use of REM or the apostrophe.


Example: Avoiding an END IF error.

  
REM This is a remark...
' This is also a remark...
IF a = 0 THEN REM (REM follows syntax rules)
IF a = 0 THEN '(apostrophe doesn't follow syntax rules, so use END IF after this)
END IF
