Comments are the simple text written by the coder to make understanding clear for the people who read it later or for self-understanding at a later stage. Comments are a very essential part of coding and are considered as one of the good practices while coding.<\/p>\n

All programming language allows some form of commenting. CPP supports both single and multiple line commenting, all text inside these comments are completely ignored by the compiler.<\/p>\n

For Single Line Comment use two slashes ( \/\/ \u00a0)<\/h2>\n

\/\/This is a single line comment<\/code>
\nSingle line comment ends at end of that line I.e. until Enter is pressed to commence a new line.<\/p>\n

For multiple lines commenting use slash with the asterisk ( \/*......*\/ )<\/h2>\n

\/* This is a
\nmultiple
\nline
\ncomment *\/<\/code><\/p>\n

Multiple line comments start and end at slash with the asterisk, using this you can comment various lines of your code at an instant<\/p>\n

Benefits of Proper Commenting:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It makes your Code more readable.<\/li>\n
  2. It adds meaning to your code for others.<\/li>\n
  3. It helps in even debugging your code.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
