Comments

Comments can be used to explain Java code, and to make it more readable. It can also be used to prevent execution when testing alternative code.

Single-line comments start with two forward slashes (//). Any text between // and the end of the line is ignored by Java (will not be executed).

Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */. Any text between /* and */ will be ignored by Java.
