Comments (Cross Ref > Language Basics)

C# versus JavaScript: A side by side comparison between C# and JavaScript.

Language Basics

Language basics is kind of a catch all for absolute beginner stuff. The items (common names) I chose for language basics is a bit random and include items like case sensitivity, commenting, declaring variables, etc.

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.

C#: "Multiple Line Comment" // or /* */

Commenting Code
C# uses "//" for a single line comment and /* */ for a multiple line comment.

Syntax Example:

//Single line comment.

/*
Multiple line
comment.

*/

JavaScript: // or /* ... */

Commenting Code
JavaScript uses "//" for a single line comment and /* */ for a multiple line comment.

Syntax Example:

//This is a single line comment.
 
/*
Multiple line
comment.
