Android Programming with Kotlin for Beginners

Leaving comments in our Kotlin code

In programming, it is always a clever idea to write messages known as code comments, and sprinkle them liberally amongst your code. This is to remind us what we were thinking at the time we wrote the code. To do this, you simply append a double forward slash and then type your comment, as follows:

// This is a comment and it could be useful

In addition, we can use comments to comment out a line of code. Suppose we have a line of code that we temporarily want to disable; we can do so by adding two forward slashes, as follows:

// The code below used to send a message
// Log.i("info","our message here")
// But now it doesn't do anything
// And I am getting ahead of where I should be
