Java Tutorial/Language/Comments
Comments in general
It is good practice to write comments explaining your code.
There are two types of comments in Java, both with syntax similar to comments in C and C++.
- Traditional comments: Enclose a traditional comment in /* and */.
- End-of-line comments: Use double slashes (//) which causes the rest of the line ignored by the compiler.
Traditional comments do not nest, which means
<source lang="java">
/*
/* comment 1 */ comment 2 */</source>
Multiple lines of comment
<source lang="java">
/* multiple lines of comment another line
*/
public class MainClass{
public static void main(String[] arg){
}
}</source>
Program Comments: Single line of comment
<source lang="java">
// Single line of comment public class MainClass{
public static void main(String[] arg){
}
}</source>
