Comments in Go

TL ; DR:

• Comments are lines of code that Go intentionally ignores. They are notes for humans.

  
  

• You add a single-line comment in Go by typing // followed by text:

  // This is a comment
  fmt.Println("This is not a comment")
  

Full lesson:

Comments help explain what code does without changing what the program runs.

Go supports single-line comments:

// Next line will greet the user:
fmt.Println("Hello user!")

Go also supports multi-line comments:

/* This is a
multi-line comment */

fmt.Println("Hello user!")
