Comments (Single-line & Multi-line)

Comments: Your Code’s Notes

Comments are like sticky notes in your code. They help you and others understand what your code does, but the browser ignores them completely.

Single-line Comments

Use // for comments that fit on one line:

Copy to Clipboard

Multi-line Comments

Use /* */ for comments that span multiple lines:

Copy to Clipboard

Why Use Comments?

  • Explain what your code does
  • Help others understand your code
  • Remind yourself what you were thinking
  • Temporarily disable code without deleting it

Tip: Good comments explain the “why,” not the “what” – the code already shows what it does!
