Comments in a C# program denote text that is ignored by the compiler and therefore has no effect on the behavior of the program.
There are two types of comments in C#:
- Single line comments: start with //, extend to end of line
- Delimited comments: surrounded by /* */, can span multiple lines
Examples:

| string s1 = "Hi" ; // This is a single-line comment /* Multiple line * comment. Nice convention to use * asterisk at the start of each line. */ string s2 = "/* This is a string, rather than a comment */" ; string s3 = "// same here" ; // Nested comments /* ignored */ //-------------------------------------- // Even better style for block comment //-------------------------------------- |
