Comments in C#: Best Practices and Examples

The C# comments are statements that are not executed by the compiler. The comments in C# programming can be used to provide explanation of the code, variable, method or class. By the help of comments, you can hide the program code also.

There are two types of comments in C#.

1. Single Line comment
2. Multi Line comment

Single Line Comment

The single line comment starts with // (double slash). Let's see an example of single line comment in C#.

 using System;  
   public class CommentExample  
    {  
       public static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            int x = 60;//Here, x is a variable    
            Console.WriteLine(x);  
        }  
    }  

Output

60

Multi Line Comment

The C# multi line comment is used to comment multiple lines of code. It is surrounded by slash and asterisk (/* ..... */). Let's see an example of multi line comment in C#.

 using System;  
   public class CommentExample  
    {  
       public static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            /* Let's declare and  
          print variable in C#. */   
            int x=50;  
            Console.WriteLine(x);  
        }  
    }  

Output

 50
