Comments In Java | Java Tutorial

In Java, we have two types of comments. We use comments to write some text within our code. The compiler will ignore these comments.

Syntax:

// Single line comment

/* 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:

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");
	}

}
