#comment

##Description A comment is a remark to the reader of the program, which the computer ignores. The most common form of comment in Turing starts with a percent sign (%) and continues to the end of the current line; this is called an end-of-line comment. There is also the bracketed comment, which begins with the /* and ends with */ and which can continue across line boundaries.

##Example

    % This is an end-of-line comment
    var x : real        % Here is another end-of-line comment
    const s := "Hello"
    /* Here is a bracketed comment that
        lasts for two lines */
    const pi := 3.14159

##Details In the BASIC language, comments are called remarks and start with the keyword REM. In Pascal, comments are bracketed by (* and *).
