2.6 Comments
Text can be included in program listings for the convenience of human readers, in
such a way that REDUCE pays no attention to it. There are three ways to do
this:
-
1.
- Everything from the word comment to the next statement terminator,
normally ; or $, is ignored. Such comments can be placed anywhere a blank
could properly appear. (Note that end and >> are not treated as comment
delimiters!)
-
2.
- Everything from the symbol % to the end of the line on which it appears is
ignored. Such comments can be placed as the last part of any line. Statement
terminators have no special meaning in such comments. Remember to put
a semicolon before the % if the earlier part of the line is intended to be so
terminated. Remember also to begin each line of a multi-line % comment
with a % sign.
-
3.
- C-style inline comments: everything from /* to */is ignored.
