Writing Code in C#

A good programming habit is to add comments.

There are two ways to add a comment.:
A single line comment begins with //
The compiler will ignore everything after the //
Examples:
// Programmer: Janet Joy
// The Hello World program with code.

this.BackColor = Color.SlateBlue; //a deep gray

A multiline comment starts with /* and ends with */

Example:

  /*  Programmer: Janet Joy

  Hello World with code

  */

Tips:

• The C# compiler ignores comments.
• Comments are a way for the programmer to leave notes for themselves.
• Add a comment with your name and an overview of what the program does.
• The multiline comment is also useful to "comment out" code that doesn't work.
• Comments are shown in green.

Commenting Conventions:

• Place the comment on a separate line, not at the end of a line of code.
• Begin comment text with an uppercase letter.
• End comment text with a period.
• Insert one space between the comment delimiter (//) and the comment text.

That's all! Congratulations on completing all of the lessons in csharp!
