C++ Comments

💬 C++ Comments – Single-Line and Multi-Line Examples

Comments are your way of talking to your future self (or teammates). They’re ignored by the compiler, but loved by humans! 🧠❤️

🔹 Why Use Comments?

  • Explain what your code does
  • Make your code easier to understand
  • Temporarily disable parts of code during testing

📝 Types of Comments in C++

C++ supports two types of comments:

  1. Single-line comment: Starts with //
  2. Multi-line comment: Starts with /* and ends with */

🔧 Example: C++ Comments

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    // This is a single-line comment
    cout << "Hello with comments!" << endl;

    /*
      This is a multi-line comment.
      You can write anything here and it will be ignored!
    */

    return 0;
}
