In C programming, how can you insert a single-line comment?
Correct answer: A. // This is a comment
- A. // This is a comment
- B. / This is a comment /
- C. 'This is a comment'
- D. ! This is a comment
Explanation
The correct answer is: (a) // This is a comment. In C programming, a single-line comment starts with two forward slash characters (//) and extends to the end of the line. Any text following the // characters is ignored by the compiler and is treated as explanatory text for the programmer or anyone reading the code.
