> ### Comments

> The exclamation mark "!" is used to indicate the beginning of a comment and the "end of line" ends a comment. All characters on the rest of the line after an exclamation mark are skipped by the compiler. Here is an example...

> Dont be sparse with comments. You can also increase readability by indenting and using lower and upper characters in a systematic way. A piece of code like the one above is definitely much easier to understand than the following.
> module plate_10X10(float t);
> beginmodule
> lin_free(#1,vec(0,0),vec(10,0));
> lin_offs(#2,#1,-10);
> lin_free(#3,on(#1),on(#2));
> lin_free(#4,on(#1,1),on(#2,1));
> endmodule
