How to comment single line and multiple lines in C?

Question

How can I comment a single line and multiple lines in C language?

Answer 1

To comment a single line, you should use two forward slashes (//).

To comment multiple lines, you should write text between /* and */.

Here is an example:

#include <stdio.h>

// This is a single line comment

/* This is a multi-line comment

This is a multi-line comment*/

int main() {

  printf("Showing single line and multi-line comments in C\n");

  return 0;

}
