Hi,
I need help With #7 question 2 on Learn Java.It says write a multi-line comment that begins anywhere after the single line comment you just wrote.I don’t understand?Which Single Line Comment?
You were suppose to write a single line comment on the previous task. But if you somehow hacked your way thorough the next task, your just suppose to write a multi line comment. Like this:
//SOME ONE LINE COMMENT
/*
SOME MULTI LINE COMMENT
*/
i don’t know how i did it weird but i still don’t get it
Comments explained by MDN:
Single Line Comments
Single line comments start with //.
Any text between // and the end of the line, will be ignored by JavaScript (will not be executed).
This example uses a single line comment before each line, to explain the code:
Example
// Change heading:
document.getElementById("myH").innerHTML = "My First Page";
// Change paragraph:
document.getElementById("myP").innerHTML = "My first paragraph.";
Try it yourself »
This example uses a single line comment at the end of each line, to explain the code:
Example
var x = 5; // Declare x, give it the value of 5
var y = x + 2; // Declare y, give it the value of x + 2

Multi-line Comments
Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */.
Any text between /* and */ will be ignored by JavaScript.
This example uses a multi-line comment (a comment block) to explain the code:
Example
/*
The code below will change
the heading with id = "myH"
and the paragraph with id = "myP"
in my web page:
*/
document.getElementById("myH").innerHTML = "My First Page";
document.getElementById("myP").innerHTML = "My first paragraph.";
Just to avoid any confusion here… MDN is for JavaScript which is a completely different language from Java.
Comments are created the same way though.
