DART – Comments
A comment is a programmer-readable explanation or annotation in the source code of a computer program. They are added with the purpose of making the source code easier for humans to understand, and are generally ignored by compilers and interpreters.

Dart Single line Comment
Dart single line comment is used to comment on a line until a line break occurs. It is done using a double forward-slash (//
).
//This is a Single Line Comment
Dart Multi Line Comment
Dart Multiline comment is used to comment out a whole section of code. It uses ‘/*
’ and ‘*/
’ to start and end a multi-line comment respectively.
/*
This
is a
Multi line
Comment
*/
Dart Documentation Comment
This is a special type of comment mainly used to generate documentation or reference for a project/software package. Documentation comments are multi-line or single-line comments that begin with ///
or /**
. Using ///
on consecutive lines has the same effect as a multi-line doc comment. The brackets are used to refer to classes, methods, fields, top-level variables, functions, and parameters. The names in brackets are resolved in the lexical scope of the documented program element.
/// This is a Example Of Documentation Comment
/// Dart is cool
