Comments in 'C' lang

I guess after reading the program, many things are clear to most of the people. Now, I would like to move your focus on the double backslash ( //), which plays an important role while writing complex programs in C language.

We humans are in a habit to keep a note of everything, which remind us to keep a follow-up of all the things we need to keep a track off. In the same way, C gives us flexibility to put a comment at any place where there is a possibility of confusion. Now, following are few useful tips to write a comment.

- There are two formats to write a comment in C lang. They are as follows:
a) put double backslash ( // ) in every line before the starting of the comment.
For example: // C lang is cool
// I am learning C lang just for fun

OR b) enclose a comment within /* */.
Start a comment with a single backslash with an asterick ( /* ) and then at the end of the
comment put an asterick with a single backslash ( */ ). A comment can be split over
more than one line. for e.g.
/* My
name is
Samiha */
- We can add any number of comments in a single program. But they cannot be nested.
For example: /* C lang /* is very easy */ */ - ( It is Invalid)

I hope a simple way of adding a comment to your program will help you to make your program user friendly & this will save your time to get the hold of the program whenever you try to figure out what the program does.
