How to write multi line comments in C programming?

To write multi-line comments in C, you use the /* ... */ syntax. Everything between these symbols is treated as a comment and will be ignored when the program runs.

Here's a simple example:

#include 

int main() {

    /* This is a multi-line 
       comment. You can write
       as many lines as you need.
    */
    printf("Hello World"); 

    return 0;
}

Notice that this code contains the following multi-line comment:

/* This is a multi-line 
   comment. You can write
   as many lines as you need.
*/

Key Points:

  • Use /* ... */ for both single and multi-line comments.

  • Comments are helpful for explaining code, making notes, or temporarily disabling code.

  • Anything within /* ... */ will be ignored by the compiler.

Hope this makes the concept clearer for you! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions or need further assistance. Happy coding!
