| ===What are Comments?===
| |
| | |
| Comments are exactly what they sound like, they're comments. They are there just for organizing code and such. Lua will not do anything with these comments.
| |
| | |
| ===Single-line Comments===
| |
| | |
| A comment starts anywhere with a double hyphen (--) and runs until the end of the line:
| |
| | |
| {{Example|<pre>
| |
| -- This is an example of a comment
| |
| </pre>}}
| |
| | |
| Comments do not appear in the output window. They are mostly to help the programmer understand what a section of code is for in long, complicated scripts.
| |
| | |
| ===Block Comments===
| |
| | |
| Lua also offers block comments, which start with the first double brackets and run until the corresponding double brackets:
| |
| | |
| {{Example|<pre>
| |
| --[[
| |
| This is an example
| |
| of a block comment.
| |
| --]]
| |
| </pre>}}
| |
| | |
| Notice how this comment is on more than one line. In the first example, it is limited to one line.
