<p><a name="index-line-comment-character_002c-Z80-2673"></a><a name="index-Z80-line-comment-character-2674"></a>The semicolon ‘<samp><span class="samp">;</span></samp>’ is the line comment character;
|
|
|
|
<p>If a ‘<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>’ appears as the first character of a line then the whole
|
|
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be
|
|
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><a name="index-location-counter_002c-Z80-2678"></a><a name="index-hexadecimal-prefix_002c-Z80-2679"></a><a name="index-Z80-_0024-2680"></a>The dollar sign ‘<samp><span class="samp">$</span></samp>’ can be used as a prefix for hexadecimal numbers
|
|
and as a symbol denoting the current location counter.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-character-escapes_002c-Z80-2681"></a><a name="index-Z80_002c-_005c-2682"></a>A backslash ‘<samp><span class="samp">\</span></samp>’ is an ordinary character for the Z80 assembler.
|

<p><a name="index-character-constant_002c-Z80-2683"></a><a name="index-single-quote_002c-Z80-2684"></a><a name="index-Z80-_0027-2685"></a>The single quote ‘<samp><span class="samp">'</span></samp>’ must be followed by a closing quote. If there
|
|
is one character in between, it is a character constant, otherwise it is
|
|
a string constant.
