Multilined Comment Vs Documentation Comment ?

Question

what's the difference ?

Answer 1

e.g.
/* this is
a multi-line
comment in
Java*/

/**
@author: MarJan
@param is used to store the sum of to integer
*/

The 2nd one (probably written a bit incorrectly since I haven't used it in a while) is a JavaDoc "comment" which will be used when generating technical documentation of your project and will describe the author and for example variable sum;

notice that JavaDoc comment starts with /** and basic multi-line comment starts with /*, also multi-lined comment won't be displayed in the documentation

Answer 2
