Comments, only comments - salvomic - 07-06-2015 07:24 PM
In these days I search mostly one thing, in the Prime: /* block comments */
I need them to test my program, I can't stand to prefix every lines with //
:-)

Marcel
yes, in fact, very very long...
I would prefer this:
Code:
/*
here
my long lines
don't execute them
they are hidden
*/so we could confront blocks of program quickly...

Code:
IF 0 THEN
here
my long lines
don't execute them
they are hidden
ENDThe lines still have to be syntactically correct though, alas.

Myself I prefer much comments to be nestable, so I can write
Code:
/* right now I don't want to do this
/* and I never do this */
OK
*/Until block comments are implemented you could try using subroutines:
Code:
export maybeDo
A
B
C
End

If I remember correctly the equivalent syntax on the ti-83 only required the syntax to be correct in the If true case...it was not checked in the If false case. How about the Prime?
