3.7. Comments
There are two ways insert comments into Gamma code. To comment out a line, you can use a double slash ( // ) like this:
a = 5;
b = 7;
// This assigns the value of c.
c = a + b;To comment out a block of text, you can put the symbol /* at the beginning, and */ at the end, like this:
a = 5;
b = 7;
/* This assigns the value of c,
which is very important to the
future of our project.*/
c = a + b; | It is not permitted to put an unmatched double quote mark ( " ) into the second type of comment. This is a feature that allows you to comment out a string, to include a comment mark in a string, and even to comment out a string that includes comment characters, like this: /*
princ ("/* this is what a comment looks like\n");
princ (" when extended to multiple lines\n");
princ ("*/\n");
*/ |
