delimited comments
suggest changeC99 introduced the use of C++-style single-line comments. This type of comment starts with two forward slashes and runs to the end of a line:
// this is a comment
This type of comment does not allow multi-line comments, though it is possible to make a comment block by adding several single line comments one after the other:
// each of these lines are a single-line comment // note how each must start with // the double forward-slash
This type of comment may be used on its own line or at the end of a code line. However, because they run to the end of the line, they may not be used within a code line
// this comment is on its own line if (x && y) { // this comment is at the end of a line // this comment is within an if, on its own line }
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
Let me know.
