Comments in C++ and Python

Comments are put in a program to make it more readable and easy to understand when someone reads it.

C++

---

There are two commenting styles

1. Line comment
Put two slashes (//) and whatever is been typed will become a comment and will be ignored by the compiler.

E.g.

int total = 0; // integer variable to store the total value


2. Block comment
This consist two parts: Starting with slash and star (/*) and ending with the reverse order , which is star and a slash (*/). Everything typed between these two symbols become comments and ignored by the compiler. Multiple comment lines can be made with the block comment method.

E.g.

/*-----------------------------
    Author : Randima
    Date   : 2017 January 01
-----------------------------*/


Python

A line starts with hash symbol (#) is a comment. Unlike block commenting in the C++, hash symbol (#) should be used in every comment line.

E.g.

#    Author : Randima
#    Date   : 2017 January 01
