Synopsis

• Consequences:

  • Macaulay2 ignores commented text

Use a double hyphen -- to introduce a comment in the text of a program. The comment runs from to the end of the line.

Emacs does a good job displaying the comments in a different color for visibility.

i1 : x = 1 -- this is a comment o1 = 1
