Comments
are inserted into Pascal programs by enclosing the comment within
{ and } braces. Comments are ignored by the computer, but are
helpful to explain how the program works to other programmers.
A Pascal program with comments
program DEMOPROG (output); begin write('Hello there.'); {the write statement does not set the cursor to the beginning of the next line. } writeln('This is getting boring.') { This is printed on the same line as Hello there, but now the cursor moves to the beginning of the next line, because this time we used writeln instead of write } end.
