Comments Occuring within String Literals Are Treated as Part of the String

Recall that comments in C# can be of two forms–either single line or delimited comments.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

// This is a single line comment int x = 12;  // So is this   /* Delimited comment here */   /* This is  * a multiline delimited comment  * comment */

If something that looks like a comment appears within a string, it isn’t treated by the compiler as a comment, but just as part of the string.

1 2	Console.WriteLine("A C# comment looks like this:  // This is a comment"); Console.WriteLine("It might also look like this:  /* Good morning Pompeii */");
