Comments in c can be written in either of these two ways :
/* This is a comment */ // this is a comment
In
the first case, the comment is enclosed by
/* */
. In the second case, the comment starts after the
//,
and spans till the end of the line , not including the new line character .
/**/
and
//,
are treated as regular characters, inside a string and a character
literal .
/* and //,
do not introduce a new comment, when they are written inside a comment .
Home
// This is a comment
A comment that starts with
// .
/* This is another comment */
A comment enclosed within
/**/ .
/* /* */
/*
inside
/**/,
is ignored, and is treated as the
two characters
/
and
* .
/* */ */
This will cause an error .
char * aCharPtr = "/**///";
A string containing 6 characters .
