The statements that are not executed by the compiler are known as the C++ comments. In order to provide the explanation of the variable, method, code or class, the comments in the C++ programming is used. The user can hide the program with the help of C++ comments.
There are generally two types of comments in the C++ programming:
The single line comment generally starts with double forward slashes. Here is an example of the single line comment in C++:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int a = 10; // Here a is a variable cout<<a<<"\n"; }
Comments that are used to comment multiple lines of code are known as the Multi-line Comments. This comment is denoted by the forward slash and asterisk (/*……*/).
Here is an example of the multiple line comments that will help you in understanding the concept:
#include <ostream> using namespace std; int main() { /*Define a variable and print the variable in C++. */ int a = 20; cout<<x<<"\n"; }
