2.5. Comments
JavaScript,
like Java, supports both C++ and C-style comments. Any text between a
//
and the end of a line is treated as a comment and is ignored by
JavaScript. Any text between the characters
/* and */ is also
treated as a comment. These C-style comments may span multiple lines
but may not be nested. The following lines of code are all legal
JavaScript comments:
// This is a single-line comment.
/* This is also a comment */ // and here is another comment.
/*
* This is yet another comment.
* It has multiple lines.
*/
