The above is equivalent to the followingA = 174.5 * Year & + Count / 100
Note that & is not part of the statement.A = 174.5 * Year + Count / 100
The above is equivalent to the following, since the comment is ignored by the compiler:A = 174.5 * Year & ! this is a comment line + Count / 100
A = 174.5 * Year + Count / 100
is equivalent toA = 174.5 + ThisIsALong& &VariableName * 123.45
In this case, there should be no spaces between the last character and the & on the first line. For example,A = 174.5 + ThisIsALongVariableName * 123.45
is equivalent toA = 174.5 + ThisIsALong & &VariableName * 123.45
Note that there are spaces between ThisIsALong and VariableName. In this way, a token (name and number) can be split over two lines. However, this is not recommendedA = 174.5 + ThisIsALong VariableName * 123.45
