Google crawl a rel="NOFOLLOW" ?

Dear Webmasters,Does Google crawl a rel="NOFOLLOW" tagged link and not give it credit,or does it just stop at the link and not visit that page unless it's found elsewhere?please explain about this code, what do you think ?ThanksJAY PaulNo, google spiders will not follow these links. Such links can be used to hide parts of your website from search engines.

So I wrote Google
