Java™ How To Program (Early Objects), Tenth Edition

Using End-of-Line Comments on Right Braces for Readability

As an aid to programming novices, we include an end-of-line comment after a closing brace that ends a method declaration and after a closing brace that ends a class declaration. For example, line 10

} // end method main

indicates the closing brace of method main, and line 11

} // end class Welcome1

indicates the closing brace of class Welcome1. Each comment indicates the method or class that the right brace terminates. We’ll omit such ending comments after this chapter.
