Comment Statements in C++
Unlike C, C++ supports two types of comments. C programmers are familiar with the /*..*/ style of commenting. Anything lying within the /*..*/ pair is ignored by the compiler. C plus plus (C++) additionally supports the // notation of commenting.
Here, everything following // till the end of line is treated as comment.
Usually /*..*/ style is used for commenting out of a block code, whereas, // is used for single-line comments.
Example of single-line comment:
// This is a single line comment
Example of multiple-line comment:
/*This is a multiple line comment*/
