Comments
Normally, all characters in an m script are assumed to be m language. Comments intended for the human reader must therefore be specially marked:
- Single line comments start with a double slash: any text from a // to the end of the line containing it is considered a comment.
- Multiline comments start with slash-star and end with star-slash: any text between /* and */ is considered a comment and ignored. These comments can be nested.
print 3*3 // this prints nine
→ 9
/* The following m code is within this comment,
so it is ignored:
print 5/7
This is still part of the comment.
/* This is a nested comment ending here: */
This is the last line of this comment. */
print 3/4
→ 0.75
|
Comment marks cannot be placed within string literals (see section * ()).
