Computer languages are instructions to a compiler (another program)
which are at times a kind of short hand that can be hard to read and understand.
To make your computer code more easy to follow, remarks or comments can and should be added. Comments can be individual lines either before or after critical sections of code or may be added as short descriptions inline with individual lines of code.
It is possible to get carried away and over comment a program,
but that is rarely the case. Most of the time computer programmers
tend to under-comment their computer programs. Comments even help programmers
to remember what they were doing when they wrote their code.
Comments in Aurora can be made using the following keywords, symbols or commands:
/* . . . */ these symbols act as brackets which enclose larger sections of commentary text.
// can also be used to mark a single line of commentary.
For example,
/* This is some commentary This is some more commentary This is the last line of commentary */
some_function(x, y, z); // This is another comment
