//comment is for a actual comments
/*comment*/ should only be used commenting out code
These are some unwritten rules -
kamen69884yIf it's a whole line comment, //
If it's a multi-line comment or commenting out something in the middle of the line, /* */
P.S. I kind of hate how VSCode handles those; I need an extra extension just to automatically insert the proper one, and selecting a whole comment block requires an absurd amount of steps. WebStorm was perfect in that. -
C0D4681454y# this is a comment
// this is another comment
; this is also a comment
/* this is another one */
/** ooh a bigger one **/
"" here's a good one
' fuck this is one too
Nope, I think that's all of them I've used this month so far. -
Depends, if it's a doclet, legal text or commented block of code then the multi-line one (although for doclets it would be /** */).
For the rest //. -
"// Comment" is C++ style, not C
C only really have "/* Comment */"
I find "/* */" generally cleaner and use "//" mostly to comment out lines or shit while coding
