Single Line Comments: //document - Getelementbyid ("Myh") .Innerhtml "My First Page"

JavaScript supports single-line comments using // and multi-line comments using /* and */. Comments are used to explain code and prevent execution for testing purposes. Single comments can be added before a line of code, while block comments can prevent execution of multiple lines at once. Comments are ignored by JavaScript and do not affect execution of the code.

JavaScript comments can be used to explain JavaScript code, and to make it more readable.

JavaScript comments can also be used to prevent execution, when testing alternative code.

Single Line Comments


Single line comments start with //. Any text between // and the end of the line will be ignored
by JavaScript (will not be executed).

Multi-line Comments (Block Comments)


Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */. Any text between /* and */ will be ignored
by JavaScript.
It is most common to use single line comments. Block comments are often used for formal
documentation.

Using Comments to Prevent Execution


Using comments to prevent execution of code is suitable for code testing.
Adding // in front of a code line changes the code lines from an executable line to a comment.

This example uses // to prevent execution of one of the code lines:


//document.getElementById("myH").innerHTML = "My First Page";
document.getElementById("myP").innerHTML = "My first paragraph.";

This example uses a comment block to prevent execution of multiple lines:


/*
document.getElementById("myH").innerHTML = "My First Page";
document.getElementById("myP").innerHTML = "My first paragraph.";
*/
