Comments

• Heavy commenting is required for class assignments.
• Two ways to comment:
• // Put a comment on one line, or even after a statement
• /* surrounds comments over multiple lines */
• Comments are as important as the textbooks always say.  Never underestimate them!
• Help others understand code.  Especially in an object oriented environment.
• Remember what you were thinking.  You will forget after writing thousands of lines of code!
• In Java, the javadoc utility generates documentation based on your comments.
