Comments in Flint
In Flint, comments are used to explain code or temporarily disable parts of it during debugging. Flint supports two types of comments:
- Single-line comments: Start with // and continue until the end of the line.
- Multi-line comments: Start with /* and end with */.
Here’s how you use comments:
def main():
// This is a single-line comment explaining the print statement below
print("Hello, Flint!");
/*
This is a multi-line comment.
You can use it for detailed explanations
or temporarily disabling multiple lines of code.
*/
// print("This line is commented out and won't run.");
Comments are essential for writing clear, understandable, and maintainable code. Use them to explain your logic to others (or to yourself when revisiting code later).
