Quick Question About Java Comments

ttttt · 10-25-2005, 12:41 PM

You know on code for web pages and script, you often see something like this

Code:

*/My comment about the script/*

Well.....Is it possible to do this with Java?
Thanks

Various programming languages use different ways of commenting, so just be careful what language you're in.

Java (and JavaScript follows the same method, which is why you've seen it in scripts) and C++:

Code:

// Only this line is a comment
 
/*
  Whatever's between the two is a comment
*/

HTML:

Code:

<!-- This is a comment -->

CSS:

Code:

/* This is a comment */

VBScript:

Code:

' This is a comment

ColdFusion:

Code:

<!--- This is a comment --->

Perl:

Code:

# This is a comment

C:

Code:

// This is a comment

... and the list goes on.
