Comments in JS
- In JavaScript, Comments are used to give information about the code, so that users can easily understand the code.
- Comments are ignored by the JavaScript interpreter and are meant for human readers, including developers and collaborators, to understand the code.
There are two types of comments in JS:
- Single line comment
- Multiline comment
Single-line comment:
- Single-line comments are used to add comments to a single line of code
- They are represented as '//'
Example:
<script>
// It is single line comment
document.write("Welcome to Quipoin");
</script>
<html>
<body>
<script>
var a = 10;
var b = 10;
var c = a + b;//It adds values of a and b variable
document.write(c);//prints sum of 10 and 20
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output:
20
Multiline comment:
- Multiline comments are used to add both single-line and multiline comments.
- It is represented as starting with /* and ending with */.
Example:
/* your code here */
<html>
<body>
<script>
/* It is multi line comment.
It will not be displayed */
document.write("Welcome to Quipoin");
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Welcome to Quipoin
