Explanation needed re /* and */ meaning Topic is solved

[wddogger]

What do these character pairs /* ....... */ denote at the top of a script
They appear to define a section of non-executable statements like documentation but I can find no explanation via hours of Google searching. Any explanation would be GREATLY appreciated.

Example follows:

Code: Select all

; Comment stmt 1
; Comment stmt 2
; Coment stmt n

/* Some statement [looks like a Function definition as Function(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4)  ]
text string that appears to explain Function arg1
text string that appears to explain Function arg2
text string that appears to explain Function arg3
text string that appears to explain Function arg4

Example:
Function(0)
Function(1)
Function(2)
Function(3)
*/

1st executable stmt (a function call)
{
	.
	etc

And as you can see from the syntax highlighting in the code box above...

; these
; are
; single line comments

/*
this
is
a
comment
block
*/

Thanks, BoBo for confirming my suspicions.
