00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:01,960
Hello and welcome.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:07,170
In this video I'm going to introduce you to see it says comments.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:12,560
Comments are used to explain your code.

4
00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:20,300
They can also help you to edit your source code at a later date.

5
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:24,480
Comments are ignored by the web browser.

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,200
So if you've got comments in your code when the web browser loads the page it completely ignores comments.

7
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:38,900
You can use single line comments or multiple line comments.

8
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:42,850
So I've got my Sears says file open.

9
00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:53,730
So the way you can see it come in for example if you wanted to insert a single line comment or you need

10
00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:58,510
to do is just do slash.

11
00:00:59,930 --> 00:01:12,220
And Asterix and then be text you want to add to the comment so I would just say this makes

12
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:16,320
text.

13
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:18,510
Hey tallack.

14
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:29,470
And another asterisks and then a forward slash so we can see if it's ignored by the web browser.

15
00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:38,750
So you do force flash as Terry X the text you want to write and then esoterics and then you close it

16
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:40,740
with another forward slash.

17
00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:44,310
So this is known as a single line comment.

18
00:01:44,510 --> 00:01:46,330
So you can have it positioned anywhere.

19
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:53,150
I can have it there or I can decide to move it and placed it.

20
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,820
Place it on the side here somewhere here.

21
00:01:57,890 --> 00:02:04,340
It will not affect the code because it can be right in the wall is going to affect the chord.

22
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:12,830
If I move this beginning to the beginning near the end in here then it will affect that call you can

23
00:02:12,830 --> 00:02:13,550
see this code.

24
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:15,110
Here is italic.

25
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:23,860
If I decide to move this for example if I am testing something I want to use check for different things.

26
00:02:23,870 --> 00:02:30,980
It can see now the italics has gone because I've commented that the entire quote but I can just get

27
00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:38,180
rid of that bit and just position the comment here.

28
00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:42,700
Just buy the property and the property value.

29
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:47,530
That way doesn't affect the tool element that has been stalled.

30
00:02:47,570 --> 00:02:51,610
So that is called a single line comment.

31
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:59,630
So we can use it to describe various parts of your CNS to yourself or to others who may want to look

32
00:02:59,630 --> 00:03:01,940
at your thesis at a later date.

33
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:12,050
So if you want to add more to Paul Like Comment or you need to do you to the asterisks and then you

34
00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:15,510
do the Asterix again.

35
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:27,820
In between you just typing your text just see this is a more t ball line

36
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:32,190
comment.

37
00:03:32,510 --> 00:03:39,950
All right so for example here if I wanted to comment out comments about this entire block of code I

38
00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:52,580
just come here maybe just grab my thesis put that all in one there and grab this one and put it here.

39
00:03:52,820 --> 00:03:53,710
Completely.

40
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:59,930
Comment out that block of code you can see the effect is affected.

41
00:04:00,310 --> 00:04:07,580
The element that I'm styling because I've commented that that block Alright so that's how you add or

42
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:14,800
use more t'pau line comment if you want to comment have multiple lines of code.

43
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,880
You can do it that way.

44
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,530
So that's basically on using theses comments they can come in handy.

45
00:04:23,540 --> 00:04:25,830
I recommend you use them.

46
00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:33,210
The earlier you start adopting that practice the easier it would be in the long run.

47
00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:34,400
You get used to it.

48
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:41,060
Just comment out bits and pieces of code anything you don't understand or you know if you understand

49
00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:47,420
it you may understand it when you write in the code but maybe six months down the line you may come

50
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:48,240
back to your code.

51
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,560
I may not know what some things mean.

52
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:55,970
So commenting your code is very useful thinking.

53
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:57,290
And bye for now.
