Comments in Java Code

/**

class HelloWorldApp

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string.

}

}



The Java language supports three kinds of comments:

/* text */

The compiler ignores everything from /* to */.



/** documentation */

This indicates a documentation comment (doc comment, for short). The compilerignores this kind of comment, just like it ignores comments that use /* and */.



// text

The compiler ignores everything from // to the end of the line
