Comments are lines of code that JavaScript will intentionally ignore. Comments are a great way to leave notes to yourself and to other people who will later need to figure out what that code does.
There are two ways to write comments in javascript:
Using // will tell JavaScript to ignore the remainder of the text on the current line. This is an in-line comment:
// This is an inline comment in javascript
You can make a multi-line comment beginning with /* and ending with */. This is a multi-line comment:
/* This is an multi-line comment */
NOTE:As you write code, you should regularly add comments to clarify the function of parts of your code. Good commenting can help communicate the intent of your code—both for others and for your future self.
Tip:try commenting by writing each one of them today.
