I am looking at some code in Scheme
from Festival
and cannot seem to figure out the comments. Currently, I can see ;
, ;;
and ;;;
used to indicate comment lines. Other sources on the web indicate that some of the above maybe ways to indicate multi-line comments. My questions are:
;
, ;;
and ;;;
for commenting? Scheme
? The comment character is ; and anything following that on the line will be ignored. The difference is visual. I have often seen a single ; used if the comment is on a line with code, ;; if the comment is on a line by itself, and ;;; if it's a heading of some sort. The most important thing in commenting is likely to follow whatever conventions you see in the code you're working with.
