In programming, comments are used to describe code and make it more readable for other programmers.
In C++, there are two types of comments:
- Single-line comments and
- Multi-line comments
Single-line Comments
Single-line Comments start with // and are used to comment out a single line of code.
For example:
// This is a single-line comment int x = 5; // This is another single-line comment
Multi-line Comments
Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */. They can be used to comment out multiple lines of code.
For example:
/* This is a multi-line comment */
It’s important to use comments in your code to make it more readable and understandable for others who may be working on the same project. Good commenting practices can also help you keep track of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
