How multi line comments differ from single line comments

Question

Kindly don't add symbolic difference, explain the advantage.

Answer 1

Multiline comments can be done as

// comment line 1
// comment line 2
// comment line 3

and they don't accidentally go too far.

/*
comment 1

x++;

/*
comment 2
*/

In this example, x doesn't get incremented. Given the number of times in Pascal code these bugs slipped in a huge project I worked on, I refuse to use them, unless I truly need an inline comment.

Answer 2

Actually, there is one reason I used a multiline comment.

c = 3.14 /* pi */ * 2 * r;

It lets you sneak a comment within a code statement.

Answer 3

It is easy to forget to close the multiline comment and end up having code you believe is executed not be. Otherwise, there isn't a difference.

Answer 4

Multiline comments can be more than one line, single libe comments can be used in a single line before it starts a code again

Answer 5

ok thank you.

Answer 6
