Comments

For comments, the "#" (hash) and ";" (semicolon) can be used as the first character in a line. If the comment characters are not the first character in the line, the entire line is interpreted quite normally, which leads to an error message. The interpreter knows the number of tokens to be taken per line and only takes exactly that number. This means that the interpreter ignores what is behind the last token of a line separated by a separator (blank or tab).
