Comments in C++

Comments can be used for providing an explanation of the code that makes it easier for others to understand the functionality of the code.

Any statement after the comments will not be executed by the compiler. So comments can also be used to temporarily disable (comment out) the execution of some specific statements without deleting the statements.

Types of Comments:

1. Single-lined

We use two forward slashes // to indicate the single-line comment.

Syntax

// This is a comment
cout << "w3wiki";

2. Multi-lined

We use  /* to start a multi-line comment and */ to end it.

Syntax

/* This is multi-lined comment.
The below statement will print w3wiki.*/
cout << "w3wiki";
