<p><a name="index-line-comment-character_002c-AVR-668"></a><a name="index-AVR-line-comment-character-669"></a>
The presence of a &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">;</span></samp>&rsquo; on a line indicates the start of a comment
that extends to the end of the current line.  If a &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>&rsquo; appears as
the first character of a line, the whole line is treated as a comment.

   <p><a name="index-line-separator_002c-AVR-670"></a><a name="index-statement-separator_002c-AVR-671"></a><a name="index-AVR-line-separator-672"></a>
The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">$</span></samp>&rsquo; character can be used instead of a newline to separate
statements.
