VBScript: Multidimensional Arrays, Statements, and Commenting - Commenting Your Code
(Page 6 of 6 )
Since we don't have time to cover Loops in this article, I will instead discuss commenting. Comments are used in code to let yourself and other programmers know what a piece of code was meant to do. It helps save time when debugging and rewriting code and is a good practice.
VBScript only supports one type of commenting, and that is the single line comment. You comment on code using the single quote ('), like so:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
'This code will print out "Hey nerd" to your monitor
'Look! Another comment!
document.write("Hey nerd")
</script>
</body>
</html>
When the program comes across your single quote, it ignores everything remaining on that line. It's as if everything else is too hideous for VBScript to look at. Ah well, at least VBScript doesn't run away screaming.
Well folks we've come to my favorite and your least favorite part of the article: the end. Join me next time when I talk about Loops and Functions in VBScript.
Till then...
