Are nesting comments recommended practice?
Nested comments can cause errors in your code, so while you’re programming, keep track of where comments start and end. The moral of the story is to remember that the /* starts a comment and */ ends the comment. If you stick one comment inside another, something bad happens.
What is a nested comment?
A nested comment is a comment inside another comment. In Java you can’t nest a multiline comment into another multiline comment, however you can nest a single line comment into a multiline comment (but does this make sense?) /* This is a comment // this is a nested comment This is another comment */
Should you add comments to your code?
Proper use of commenting can make code maintenance much easier, as well as helping make finding bugs faster. Further, commenting is very important when writing functions that other people will use. Remember, well documented code is as important as correctly working code.
Do comments affect runtime?
So no, comments do not slow down the programs at run-time. Note: Interpreters that do not use some other inner structure to represent the code other than text, ie a syntax tree, must do exactly what you mentioned. Interpret again and again the code at run-time.
What are comments give an example of multi line comment?
/* */ (multiline comment) Multiline comments are used for large text descriptions of code or to comment out chunks of code while debugging applications. Comments are ignored by the compiler.
How is nested comments in C / C + + stack overflow?
Write a C program which when compiled and run, prints out a message indicating whether the compiler that it is compiled with, allows /* */ comments to nest. if it supports nested comments then the answer is 1 else answer is 0. How is this working ?
How to solve the problem of nested comments in Java?
One workaround in C/C++ and Java is to only use the single-line comment but it becomes impossible then to comment out a larger block. I’m facing something like this:
Is it possible to fake nested comments in HTML?
A VS add-in that fakes nested comments by automatically converts to then comments out that whole section. It lets you toggle it on and off. I think it isn’t allowed, but as far as I know it works in most of the major browsers except in Firefox.
How are comments used in a programming language?
Comments are used in a programming language to document the program and remind programmers of what tricky things they just did with the code, or to warn later generations of programmers stuck with maintaining some spaghetti code. While comments may seem to be a minor issue in a language, an awkward comment format in a language is a nuisance and
