Rem ''remarks''

'''remarks''

== Description ==

Rem is used to include remarks, or comments, as text which is never executed, in a program. The optional component, ''remarks'', is any text. If used as the last of multiple statements on a single line, Rem must be separated from the previous statement by a colon (:). The apostrophe (') synonym is similar to using Rem, but no space is required between the apostrophe and the remarks, and no separating colon is needed on multi-statement lines.

Do not put the string </script> into a comment - it will stop the interpretation of the code.

== Example ==

<tabber>
 JavaScript=
<syntaxhighlight lang="JavaScript">
// Rem Example
/* This example does absolutely nothing */
/* It doesn't even have a single line of
   executable code */
</syntaxhighlight>
|-|
 BASIC=
<syntaxhighlight lang="vb.net">
Rem Rem Example
Rem This example does absolutely nothing
'It doesn't even have a single line of
'executable code
</syntaxhighlight>
</tabber>

== Output ==

<pre>

</pre>
