Making comments in your source code

Commenting is absolutely necessary when programming. It's useful to you because you won't forget what you were doing or thinking at that time. But it's expecially useful for others because they'll know how to work with your code.

Every programming language has it's own way of making comments, which can be very annoying. Never had that you were making Java comments on your HTML page? Here's a small list of some programming languages with their way of commenting. Alltough CSS, HTML and MySQL aren't real programming languages, I posted them in this list because it can be useful for webdesigners.

Did you comment your code correct?

Take note that there could be more ways to comment your code. Just make sure you pick one universal type in all your code.

Actionscript

Single line comment:
// Comments

Multiline comment:
/** * Comments line one * Comments line two **/
C++

Inline comment:
// Comments

Single line comment:
/* Comments */

Multiline comment:
/* * Comments line one * Comments line two */
CSS

Commenting:
/* Comments */
Delphi

Single line comment:
// Comments

Multiline comment:
{ Comments line one Comments line two }
HTML / XHTML / XML

Commenting:

Java

Single line comment:
// Comments

Multiline comment:
/** * Comments line one * Comments line two **/
MySQL

Single line comment:
-- Comments

Multiline comment:
-- -- Comments line one -- Comments line two --
PHP

Single line comment:
// Comments

Multiline comment:
/* # Comments line one # Comments line two */

the
/*
# Comments line one
# Comments line two
*/
looks a little bit like you have to put the '#'s there but there is no need for this (i prefer the c-style)
Just like multi-line-commenting in the previos comment

And last but not least you could also use the # for a single-line-comment in php ;-)

MR LEE YOUNG CHIN - Dear Friend

2010-09-19 01:42:12

Dear Friend,
Let me start by introducing myself.I am Mr.LEE YOUNG CHIN, Executive Director
and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd.I have a secured
business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Col. Hosam Hassan who was
with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed
deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Thirty million United
State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent
to him, even during the war early this year.Again after the war
another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We
later find out that Col.Hosam Hassan and his famil y had been killed
during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Col. Hosam
Hassan did not declare any next of kin in his official papers
including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in
me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my bank.So, Thirty million United State Dollar is still
lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it.What
bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the
expiration 4 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong
Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as
a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Col. Hosam Hassan so that
you will be able to receive his funds.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we
shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will
prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin
to Col. Hosam Hassan , all that is required from you at this stage is
for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the
attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of
kin, the attorney will also file in for claims on your behalf and
secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for
the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt
a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary
documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters
concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we
shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you Should you be
interested please send me informations below,
1. Full names
2. Private phone number
3. Current residential address.
I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below And
finally
after that i shall provide you with more details on this
transaction.Your
earliest response to this letter will be highly appreciated.
(yougleeeeeeeee_op@hotmail.com)
My Esteemed Regards,
MR LEE YOUNG CHIN

Here's something to take a look at. Using a relatively common search phrase, I developed 47 blogs having the headline of this particular subject. this website was the number 3 listing. I'd imagine that who
owns this website would be fairly happy with this. For one thing, there was one site
listed, a different site, that was only loosely linked to the subject topic.
I guess that i is a dork for noticing might be found.
