Comments

Comments are non-executable statements used to explain the code to the reader, including other developers or oneself in the future. Comments are ignored by the compiler or interpreter and do not affect the execution of the code. They are typically used to document the purpose of the code, describe how it works, and provide additional information that can help other developers understand the code.

In JavaScript, comments can be written in two ways:

  1. Single-line comments are created using two forward slashes (//). Anything after // on the same line is considered a comment.

    Example:

    // This is a single-line comment in JavaScript
  2. Multi-line comments are created using /* and / to enclose the comment. Anything between / and */ is considered a comment.

    Example:

    /*
    This is a multi-line comment in JavaScript.
    It can span multiple lines of code.
    */
