JAVA COMMENTS

JAVA Comments

• Java comments are non-executable statements used to explain code, improve readability, or disable parts of the code during testing. The compiler ignores comments.
• Comments written by the programmer will be ignored by the machine during compilation and execution.
• Comments are written by programming for better understanding of the code.

Types Of Java Comments:

1. Single-line Comments: Start with // and extend to the end of the line.

Syntax:

// This is a single-line comment
int a = 5; // Variable declaration

Example: 

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // This prints a message to the console
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

2. Multi-line Comments: Enclosed between /* and */.

Syntax:

/* This is a multi-line comment.
   It can span multiple lines. */
int b = 10;

Example: 

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        /*
         This block explains the purpose of the program.
         The program calculates the sum of two numbers.
        */
        int a = 5;
        int b = 10;
        int sum = a + b;
        System.out.println("Sum: " + sum); 
    }
}
