In Java, we have two types of comments. We use comments to write some text within our code. Compiler will ignore these comments.
Syntax:
1 | // Single line comment |
1 2 3 | /* Multi line comments – Line 1 Multi line comments – Line 2 */ |
Note: Comments in between the code gives more readability
Do you want to show auto generated code whenever you create a new class as shown below.
Follow the below steps:
I assume, you are using Eclipse IDE.
1. In eclipse, Go to Window – Preferences
2. From the left panel, Select Java – Code style – Code template
3. Under ‘Configure generated code and comments’, Expand Comments – Select Files and Click Edit and Enter your text and Click OK.
Whenever you create a new class, you can see comments.
Sample Program:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | package classOneGeneral; public class Comments { public static void main(String [] args){ // Single line comment - Below statement outputs the string "I am learning Java from SoftwareTestingMaterial" System.out.println("I am learning Java from SoftwareTestingMaterial"); /* Multi line comments – Below statement outputs the string Multi line comments – "I am learning Java from SoftwareTestingMaterial" */ System.out.println("I am learning Java from SoftwareTestingMaterial"); } } |
