Java
A part of an application's code that is ignored by the compiler and intended for documentation purposes only is known as a comment. Comments are used by developers to explain or annotate the code, making it easier to understand for themselves and others who may read it later. They do not affect the execution of the program and can be added using specific syntax, such as
// for single-line comments or
/* ... */ for multi-line comments in languages like C, C++, and
Java.
