Comments (Cross Ref > Language Details)

Languages Focus

Commenting code generally has three purposes: to document your code, for psuedo coding prior to coding, and to embed compiler directives. Most languages support both a single line comment and a multiple line comment. Some languages also use comments to give instructions to the compiler or interpreter.

PHP:   # or // or /* ... */ Commenting Code Use the multi-line to comment out large blocks of code and to write multiple line comments. Syntax Example: #This is a comment in PHP. //This is too! /* This is a multi-line comment. */	C++/CLI:   // or /* ... */ Commenting Code Same as standard C++. C++ uses "//" for a single line comment and /* */ for a multiple line comment. Syntax Example: //Single line comment in MS (not ANSI compliant so do NOT use). /* ANSI compliant single line comment. */ /* Multiple line comment. */ /* * This is another popular * way to write multi-line * comments. */
