In this tutorial you will learn about the Go Comments and its application with practical example.
Go Comments
Go Comments are a set of statements that are not executed by the Go compiler and interpreter. The use of comments makes it easy for humans to understand the source code.Usually comments gives you inside or explanation about the variable, method, class or any statement that exists in source code. The comment statements are ignored during the execution of the program.
Go Single-line Comments:-
A ‘//’ (double forward slash) is used to specify a single line comment, which extends up to the newline character.
