3 - Comments
The Java programming language supports three kinds of comments.
3.1 - Type of comments
3.1.1 - /* text */
The compiler ignores everything from /* to */.
3.1.2 - /** documentation */
This indicates a documentation comment (doc comment, for short). The compiler ignores this kind of comment, just like it ignores comments that use /* and */. The javadoc tool uses doc comments when preparing automatically generated documentation. For more information on javadoc, see the JavadocTM tool documentation .
3.1.3 - // text
The compiler ignores everything from // to the end of the line.
