Rust Comment

Rust comment

Created By: chatGPT

Comments in Rust are annotations in the code that are ignored by the compiler. They are used to explain what the code does, making it easier to understand for others (or yourself in the future). There are two types of comments in Rust.

// This is a single-line comment

/*
   This is a multi-line comment.
   It spans multiple lines.
*/

Single-line comments start with two forward slashes //. Everything after those slashes on that line will be ignored by the compiler. This is useful for brief explanations.

// This function adds two numbers together
fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
    a + b
}

Multi-line comments use a combination of /* to start and */ to end. These comments can span multiple lines and are useful for longer explanations or commenting out large blocks of code.

/*
   The following function multiplies
   two numbers.
*/
fn multiply(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
    a * b
}

To summarize, comments are a crucial aspect of writing maintainable code in Rust. They enhance code readability and provide context to complex logic.

// Keep your comments concise and relevant to improve code clarity.
