Rem keyword vs // vs /*

[Anonymous]

Can someone please explain:

Is there a rule or condition like when to use Rem Keyword vs // vs /* for commenting in a script? The reason I am asking this is all three serves the same purpose

Thanks!

True. I generally follow this:

Rem and // Is used for single line statement commenting.

/*  */ This is used if you have many lines/a block of script statements to be commented in a single go.

Thanks,
Vish.

Hi Karthick,

  //  is for single line comments.

Ex:  // This is a comment.

  /* …*/  is for multi line comment. Multiline comments are used to comment out block of code.

Ex:    /* This is a comment

            that spans two lines */

  Rem is a short for Remarks. The rem statement is used for inserting remarks or comments or comment out the lines. Everything between the Rem and the next semicolon ; is considered to be a comment.

Ex:

Hope this helps.
