1. Here is a simple example of multi-line comment we follow in most of the languages,
/*if( some conditional statements ){
...
a lot of brilliant code goes here...
...
}*/
2. Many times when we need to un-comment the code block, it becomes difficult to find closing part of multi-line comment (*/) or vice a vesra.
3. Lets change above code block as following,
/*
if( some conditional statements ){
...
a lot of brilliant code goes here...
...
}
//*/
Above cod block is now commented.
4. When you need to uncomment the block, make simple change at line 1, as following
///*
if( some conditional statements ){
....
a lot of brilliant code goes here...
...
}
//*/
Now above code block is un-commented (will execute).
5. Using this trick one won’t have to look for (or remember) closing fragments every-time to comment or un-comment the code.
6.This may not be very useful when working with your cool editor, but will be useful while working with simple editors and while debugging on servers :p .
It work fine in JavaScript.
Let me know if it does not work in your favourite language. I will mention it here…
