• Comments can be used to explain Java code,
and to make it more readable.
• It can also be used to prevent execution when
testing alternative code.
Single-line Comments

• Single-line comments start with two forward


slashes (//).
• Any text between // and the end of the line is
ignored by Java (will not be executed).
• This example uses a single-line comment before
a line of code:
Example
// This is a comment
System.out.println("Hello World");
Java Multi-line Comments

• Multi-line comments start with /* and ends


with */.
• Any text between /* and */ will be ignored by
Java.
• This example uses a multi-line comment (a
comment block) to explain the code:
Example
/* The code below will print the words Hello
World to the screen, and it is amazing */
System.out.println("Hello World");
