Comments

Normally, all characters in an m script are assumed to be m language. Comments intended for the human reader must therefore be specially marked:

• Single line comments start with a double slash: any text from a // to the end of the line containing it is considered a comment.
• Multiline comments start with slash-star and end with star-slash: any text between /* and */ is considered a comment and ignored. These comments can be nested.

print 3*3 // this prints nine → 9 /* The following m code is within this comment,    so it is ignored: print 5/7    This is still part of the comment.    /* This is a nested comment ending here: */    This is the last line of this comment. */ print 3/4 → 0.75

Comment marks cannot be placed within string literals (see section * ()).
