Information
about the code: |
//************************************
// Name: William Ryker
// Assignment: Unit 1 #2
// The "Hi" program
// Date: Stardate 2504
//************************************
|
All programs should
begin with a comment identifying the programmer and the purpose of the program. |
int main(void)
{
cout<<
“Hi!”;
// message to user
return 0; //terminate
main and return integer 0
} |
Comments can also
be placed within the body of a program to act as documentation.
These comments should be brief and to the point.
This body prints
Hi!
on the screen. |
/*
this older style of commenting allows a comment to wrap around the
screen until the terminating symbol is typed. */ |
This "older" form of
commenting which was developed for the C language, is used by C++
programmers to display lengthy comments that wrap around the screen. |
