COMMENTS IN JAVA

COMMENTS IN JAVA

• Like c,c++ we use comments to know the process of program or operation performed in program  , In JAVA we also use comments to describe the performed operation.
• Comments are description about the features of program.
• When we write comment in our program , we can understand what is program doing as well as it help others to easily to follow our code.

The biggest advantage of the comments is that readability & understanding of the program increases.
