The characters ‘<samp><span class="samp">*</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>’ are line comment characters; each
|
||
|
|
start a comment at the beginning of a line, but only at the beginning of a
|
||
|
|
line. A ‘<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>’ prefixes a hexadecimal number if found elsewhere on a
|
||
|
|
line. If a ‘<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>’ appears at the start of a line the whole line is
|
||
|
|
treated as a comment, but the line can also act as a logical line
|
||
|
|
number directive (see <a href="Comments.html#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor control command
|
||
|
|
(see <a href="Preprocessing.html#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Two other characters, ‘<samp><span class="samp">%</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">!</span></samp>’, each start a comment anywhere
|
||
|
|
on the line. Thus you can't use the ‘<samp><span class="samp">modulus</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">not</span></samp>’
|
||
|
|
operators in expressions normally associated with these two characters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A ‘<samp><span class="samp">;</span></samp>’ is a line separator, treated as a new-line, so separate
|
||
|
|
instructions can be specified on a single line.
