#475 – Comments Occuring within String Literals Are Treated as Part of the String
December 14, 2011 Leave a comment
Recall that comments in C# can be of two forms–either single line or delimited comments.
// This is a single line comment int x = 12; // So is this /* Delimited comment here */ /* This is * a multiline delimited comment * comment */If something that looks like a comment appears within a string, it isn’t treated by the compiler as a comment, but just as part of the string.
Console.WriteLine("A C# comment looks like this: // This is a comment"); Console.WriteLine("It might also look like this: /* Good morning Pompeii */");Share this:
