Yes.
/* Program 1 Write out three lines of a poem. The poem describes a single moment in time, using 17 syllables. */ class Haiku { public static void main ( String[] args ) { System.out.println("On a withered branch" ); System.out.println("A crow has just alighted:"); System.out.println("Nightfall in autumn."); } }
Often you want to write a comment that spans several lines, as above.
With this style of comment,
everything between the two characters /*
and the two characters */
are ignored by the compiler.
The /
and the *
must not have any character between them.
There can be many lines of comments
between the /*
pair and the */
pair.
The /*
and the */
can start and stop anywhere on a line.
Everything between the pair is a comment ignored by the compiler.
Is the following correct?
class Haiku
{
public static void main ( String[] args )
{
System.out.println /* print a line containing the following string */ ("On a withered branch" );
System.out.println("A crow has just alighted:");
System.out.println("Nightfall in autumn.");
}
}
