Java Comments
Java code can be made more understandable and explained via comments
. The comments
are not exceuted by compiler and interpreter.
The comments
will help a developer to understand their code when they refer the codes later.
There are 2 types of comments
- Single-line Comments
- Multi-line Comments
Single-line Comments
The single-line
comment is denoted by two forward slashes(//
). Any text between //
and the end of the line is ignored by the compiler. Single-line comments are used to comment only a single line.
Example
public class Tutorial {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Print the text to the terminal.
System.out.println("My First Tutorial");
}
}
Here, the following is the comments that is not executed by java.
// Print the text to the terminal.
Multi-line Comments
Comments with more than one line begin with /*
and end with */
. Java will ignore any text between the /*
and */
characters.
Example
public class Tutorial {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/* The println function is used to print string to the screen.
Here My First Tutorial will be printed to the screen */
System.out.println("My First Tutorial");
}
}
