DAY 011: REM

[CharlieJV]

I always use a ' instead of REM, but a funny thing I noticed playing with REM is that if you add a colon after a REM, followed by code on the same line, the IDE thinks it's code and syntax colors it accordingly, but the code on the line is ignored and not run.

REM: SLEEP  'it's really in rem sleep, lol

or REM: PRINT "FFF"  'the print syntax code is colored, but not run.

- Dav

Ooooh, that's a good catch.  Good sleuthing.

The little I've looked at (in general), syntax highlighting is not a trivial affair.
