One important thing to note is that, comment should note be within another comment.

// comments one line only


/*..*/ can comment more than one line.. (a whole block)
Reply:If you want to give a single line comment, try this:





int a=5; //initialization





or a multiline comment you can give this:





/*

*/





Mostly multiline comments (/* */) are used for documentation. ir providing info about the program

C definitely supports /* Comment here */ type comments. Such comments are multiline comments, so you can have


/*


Comment 1


Comment 2


*/





The question is with inline comments that are a part of C++.


code here // comment here


Note that they are not multiline. Inline comments are OK in C99, but in C90 they are not.





So you need to find out how old your C compiler is and what standard it supports. If it supports C99, you know it supports inline comments, otherwise no.

Reply:C compilers only accept text within /* */ as comments.


C++ compilers accept text within both /* */ and // as comments.





Remember: You can't have nested comments, e.g.


/* hello


/* I am here */





*/





A good way to provide comments is:





/*


* %26lt; text here%26gt;


* %26lt;text here%26gt;


*


*/
