How do you comment on someone's code?

Question

Hi all!

I've noticed people sometimes leave comments to my code. How do you guys do that? I have looked in both the app (Android) and the Web version (using Firefox) but have not yet found it...

Thanks!

Answer 1

Of course the code needs to be public else you can't comment.
Try to comment on the below code. The plus icon is present for me to add a comment; just scroll the comments screen up a bit. If you can't comment on a *public code* then it may be some bug send a bug report from feedback in-app.

Answer 2

You need the mobile app for that.
1st go to a public code.
2nd click comment/comments text on that code.
3rd scroll below tap the green plus icon.
4th add some text in the input box.
5th tap comment.
Simple as that :)

Try the steps on the below code

Answer 3

You can if you want give feedback in some other public code. just give relevant context with code link else they may get confused :D

Answer 4

Thanks Lord Krishna. I now see the difference, public code also has a "public" marking in the same upper right corner.

The code I was referring to:
https://code.sololearn.com/cFmi2uJpqHmq/?ref=app
isn't public. I wanted to point out a bug to him, but alas :)

Answer 5

Done, thanks again :)

Answer 6

Thanks for your quick reply Lord Krishna, the thing is: that button only seems to be there if the code already has comments.
In challenges I often find code that has no comments, and they don't have that button either. Or are you suggesting that code without comment buttons simply isn't public?

Answer 7

oof...
You mean I can't comment without the mobile version? Why is that?
