Go Comments
In Go, you can add comments to your code to explain what it does and how it works. There are two types of comments in Go: single-line comments and multi-line comments.
Single-line comments start with //
and continue until the end of the line. Here's an example:
package main import "fmt" func main() { // Print a message to the console fmt.Println("Hello, world!") }
In this example, we're using a single-line comment to explain what the fmt.Println
statement does.
Multi-line comments start with /*
and end with */
. Here's an example:
package main import "fmt" func main() { /* This program prints a message to the console. It is intended as an example for learning Go. */ fmt.Println("Hello, world!") }
In this example, we're using a multi-line comment to provide more detailed information about the program.
It's a good practice to add comments to your code to make it easier to understand and maintain. However, it's important to avoid over-commenting your code, as this can make it harder to read. Try to find a balance between providing enough comments to explain your code, and keeping your code clean and easy to read.
