Hello Segwin,

Thank you for writing in. In addition to what sledge said, using the /* and */ for a multi line comment will not always automatically comment out all the code within. This is because certain characters used in programming can cause the comment to end prematurely. I recommend always checking to be sure that 100% of the code in between your /* and */ is the green comment color.

In the example code you provided however, just the single /* and */ will comment it out correctly:

Code:
