comments 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*/
