Examples of comments
There are 3 styles of comments:
/**documentation */ - documentation
commenting.
/* text*/ - is the format for block commenting.
// text - is the format for single line commenting.
Comment statements are ignored by the compiler.
Comments are simply messages to the reader of the code. |

Information
about the code: |
/************************************

*Program Name: Comments.java
*************************************/ |
All programs should
begin with a comment identifying the purpose of the program and the
programmer. For class, you may be asked to start your programs with a comment similar to the one shown. |
public class Comments {
public static void main (String[ ] args) {
System.out.println("Hi !"); //message to user
System.out.println("LabOneA"); //assignment
}
} |
Comments can also be placed
within the body of a program to act as documentation. These
comments should be brief and to the point.
This body prints Hi! on the screen and LabOneA on the screen. |
| /* if you want to
write a detailed comment, and it wraps down onto another line, use this
block style of commenting. */ |
The
block form of commenting is used to display lengthy comments that
wrap around the screen. |
