Lets start with a few examples.
<p>
<center>
<table border=2 width="80%" bgcolor=ivory>
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
main()
{
int Counter=0; /* Initalise Counter */
/* a comment */
/*
* Another comment
*/
/*****************
*
* Final comment.
*
*****************/
}
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
<p>
<hr>
<p>
A comment starts with a <b>/*</b> and
ends with <b>*/</b>. Comments started in this way can span multiple
lines but cannot be nested.
For example:
<p>
<center>
<table border=2 width="80%" bgcolor=ivory>
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
main()
{
int Count = 0; /* Initalise
* Counter to 0 */
/* /* Invalid comment */ */
}
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
<p>
This will give a syntax error, because the last line
contains nested comments.

C++ offers a solution to
