Core JavaScript 1.5 Guide:Comments

From MDC

[edit] Comments

Comments are author notations that explain what a script does. Comments are ignored by the interpreter. JavaScript supports Java and C++-style comments:

• Comments on a single line are preceded by a double-slash (//).
• Comments that span multiple lines are preceded by /* and followed by */:

Example
The following example shows two comments:

// This is a single-line comment.

/* This is a multiple-line comment. It can be of any length, and
you can put whatever you want here. */
