I'm reading the tutorials and I don't get rem.
Can you guys explain it to me?

Why change the the world when it changes itself?

Rem is the command for a comment. It doesn't do anything.

Rem ( Also ` in DarkEDIT) are comments.

They are used to explain code. It is best used to explain WHY something happens, not WHAT it does, the code should be neat enough to say what it does.

Actually, the backtick character can also be used in the native DarkBASIC editor. The compiler just ignores anything following it on the line.

rem stands for remark, it just means to the computer "ignore everything on this line" remarks are used to allow the programmer to make comments to help readability, organization, and understanding of his/her code

Aw. I did not know that. I think I tried it once, but it failed. Been a while since I used DBC though...

Don't forget about REMSTART and REMEND.



It helps us to rem off a whole section of code without hitting ` on every line.
