Comments in Dart

Comments are like sticky notes in your code - they help you (and others) understand what your code does without affecting how it runs. Think of them as explanations written in plain English that the Dart compiler completely ignores.

Why Use Comments?

• Document your code: Explain complex logic or algorithms
• Leave notes for yourself: Remember why you wrote something a certain way
• Help teammates: Make your code easier for others to understand
• Temporarily disable code: Comment out code during testing

Types of Comments:

1. Single-line comment – Starts with //
2. Multi-line comment – Starts with /* and ends with */
3. Documentation comment – Starts with /// and is used for generating documentation

Example:

void main() {
  // This is a single-line comment
  print('Hello, Dart!');

  /*
    This is a multi-line comment.
    It can span multiple lines.
  */
  print('Dart is fun!');

  /// This is a documentation comment.
  /// Used to describe classes, methods, or functions.
  print('Learning comments in Dart');
}

Remember: Good comments explain the "why" behind your code, not just the "what". Your code should be self-explanatory for the "what" part!
