Answer:

No. Everything is so confused, a slight mistake is easily overlooked.


Comments

// Write three lines of a poem to the computer monitor
class Haiku
{
  public static void main ( String[] args )
  {
    System.out.println("On a withered branch" );
    System.out.println("A crow has just alighted:");
    System.out.println("Nightfall in autumn.");
  }
}

A comment is a note written to a human reader of a program. A comment starts with the two characters // (slash slash). Those characters and everything that follows them on that one line are ignored by the java compiler.

The program compiles and runs exactly the same as before. The green color in the above program was added by hand. However, most program editors (such as Crimson and Notepad++) are smart enough to recognize comments and will display them in color. Of course, the text file contains only the characters you have entered.


QUESTION 15:

Are comments included in the bytecode translation of a Java program?
