Comments

Both single and multiline comments are supported in Apex code.

We recommend using the standardized ApexDoc comment format to increase code readability, collaboration, and long-term maintainability. For the full specifications, see Document Your Apex Code.

Tip

• To create a single line comment, use //. All characters on the same line to the right of the // are ignored by the parser. For example:

  1Integer i = 1; // This comment is ignored by the parser

• To create a multiline comment, use /* and */ to demarcate the beginning and end of the comment block. For example:

  1Integer i = 1; /* This comment can wrap over multiple
  2                  lines without getting interpreted by the
  3                  parser. */
