## Description
|
|
|
|
* The underscore can be anywhere after the code on that line to continue the code to the next line in QB64.
|
|
* Multiple underscores can be used for the same line of code.
|
|
* Comments cannot follow an underscore and are not continued on the next line if they end in an underscore.
|
|
* Modern QB64 keywords are preceded by an underscore, unless [$NOPREFIX]($NOPREFIX) is used. Variables and user procedures names cannot start with a single underscore.
|
|
* Variables and user procedures names can be preceded by double underscores if necessary.
|
|
* Underscores can be used in the middle of variable, sub procedure or [CONST](CONST) names.
|
|
* In [PRINT USING](PRINT-USING) an underscore can precede a formatting character to display that character as literal text in a template [STRING](STRING).
