Comments in JavaScript

Comments in JavaScript are pretty much similar to PHP. There are 2 types of comments, single-line comment and multi-line comment. Single-line comment is useful in case of providing small information about the code. Multi-line comment is useful in case of providing detailed information about the code. Single-line comment starts with 2 forward slashes (//). Multi-line comment starts with /* and ends with */. Example of both the comments is given below.

<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Tutorial </title>
</head>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">

//This is a single line comment.
var message = "Hello World";

/*
This is a multi-line comment.
Alert function will display a message box.
*/ 
alert(message);
 
</script>
 
</body>
</html>
