Program comments are explanatory statements that you can include in the C++ code that you
write and helps anyone reading it's source code. All programming languages allow for some form
of comments.
C++ supports single-line and multi-line comments. All characters available inside any comment
are ignored by C++ compiler.
C++ comments start with /* and end with */. For example:
/* This is a comment */
/* C++ comments can also
* span multiple lines
*/

A comment can also start with //, extending to the end of the line. For example:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
main()
{
cout << "Hello World"; // prints Hello World
return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled, it will ignore // prints Hello World and final executable will
produce the following result:
Hello World

Within a /* and */ comment, // characters have no special meaning. Within a // comment, /* and */
have no special meaning. Thus, you can "nest" one kind of comment within the other kind. For
example:
/* Comment out printing of Hello World:
cout << "Hello World"; // prints Hello World
*/
